From right to left
- Nike has released a two-minute film to tell the extraordinary story of how Rafa Nadal managed to change from being a right handed amateur tennis player into the most-feared, left-handed champion in the world.The film meets Rafa and his Uncle Toni at home being interviewed in the kitchen. Uncle Toni tells us that although his nephew hits the ball harder with his left hand than anyone in the history of tennis, he is in fact right handed. Toni tells the story of how he convinced Rafa to make the switch from right-handed to left-handed when he was nine years old, believing it would give him an advantage over his competitors.The irony is that, to this day, playing tennis is the only thing that Rafa does left handed. He uses his right hand to throw, write and even for the most mundane activities like brushing his teeth. Though the film explores this in a light hearted way, its objective is to demonstrate that the act of changing into a left handed player was a courageous one.

Grant Hackett talks about the importance of funding for coaches
- Grant Hackett here discusses the need for adequate funding for elite athletes and athletes at all levels. Hackett is the Australian swimming champion famous for winning the men's 1500 metres freestyle race at both the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, and he had the same coach for 21 years so he should know a thing or two about their needs.
