NNA - Episode #2 of #TheUrbanAthletePodcast that is produced by a group of young professional athletes in collaboration with UNIC Beirut is out. It features two Lebanese basketball players with Lebanon’s Al-Riyadi club who have been racking up big wins. In this episode, the guests share their athletic accomplishments in the past few years despite all the struggles they faced throughout their careers, and offer recommendations to parents of talented children to help them become young professional athletes.

The podcast aims at raising awareness about the connection between sports and education, health, human rights and women empowerment. It also aims at influencing behaviors and galvanizing action within sports, as well as inspiring people to consider sports as a valuable tool to overcome any obstacle or crisis.
