About this episode
In this episode of Beyond The Track, we’re joined by James Williams, CEO of Welsh Athletics, for an insightful conversation about the present and future of athletics in Wales.
James takes us behind the scenes of the sport’s development, reflecting on how athletics has evolved over the years and the key challenges that still need to be addressed for it to continue growing. From participation trends to the structures that support elite performance, he shares a candid perspective on what it takes to move the sport forward.
We also dive into the importance of grassroots athletics, the role clubs and communities play in nurturing the next generation, and how collaboration with other National Governing Bodies (NGBs) can help strengthen the wider sporting landscape.
Packed with honest insights, leadership perspective, and a real passion for the sport, this episode explores the barriers, opportunities, and big ideas shaping the future of athletics in Wales - and why the journey beyond the track matters more than ever.
