The Inside Track: Managing mental health and Olympic optimism - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

5 Live’s senior football reporter Ian Dennis joins the podcast to give the latest EFL news on whether to continue the League One season, and BBC rugby union correspondent Chris Jones brings breaking news on when training is expected to resume for Premiership clubs.

We hear from International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach on why the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Games would have to be cancelled if they cannot take place next summer. Sir Hugh Robertson, the chair of the British Olympic Association, joins the podcast and remains optimistic that all will go ahead.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, so we speak to Olympic track cycling gold medallist Elinor Barker about her new role as ambassador of Sporting Minds UK - which provides support and raises awareness to enable positive mental health in young sportspeople. Plus, former England cricketer, now sports psychologist, Jeremy Snape discusses the effects lockdown can have on mental health.

And we also find out how Formula 1 driver Daniil Kvyat has been learning to play the guitar and has teamed up with Simon Neil - the lead singer of rock band Biffy Clyro - to get some tips.
