Eleanor Oldroyd, Helen Glover, Kate Richardson-Walsh and Sam Oldham debate making career sacrifices for things you believe in, marginal gains, losing streaks and personality.
Eleanor Oldroyd tackles the big issues in sport this week with a panel of athletes at the top of their games.
Following his vote in favour of Catalonian independence, Barcelona defender, Gerard Pique announced he we would step down from Spain's national side if he needed to. But would the panel make similar career sacrifices for things they believe in?
After England captain Harry Kane revealed he has a personal chef, how important is nutrition and other marginal gains are to an athlete? Following a fifth WTA Tour defeat in a row for Johanna Konta, how does an athlete deal with a losing streak? And is Lord Coe right to say that athletes need to show more personality both in and out of the arena? And how exactly do you do this?
Joining Eleanor to discuss all this and more are: double Olympic champion rower Helen Glover, gold medal winning hockey captain Kate Richardson-Walsh and Olympic bronze medal winning gymnast Sam Oldham.
