Could technology make us more active? With Judy Murray and Mark Lillie

Lots of us spend (too) many hours sitting behind a computer for our jobs. And then spend our free time scrolling on our smartphones. Dropping concentration levels. Rising obesity rates. Mental health issues. It’s clear that we’d all benefit from less time on our devices and more time being active.   Technology isn’t all bad though. There are some fantastic examples of technology being put to good use. It can help us cheer on our favourite sports stars. Inspire us to get off the couch. Monitor our heartbeat. Start working out in our own living room. Book a local tennis court in a few clicks.   So what if technology isn’t the problem - but part of the solution? Could it help more of us get into sport - and inspire a better society along the way?   For this episode, we invited Scottish tennis coach Judy Murray (aka Andy and Jamie’s mum) and Mark Lillie, our global technology strategy and transformation partner, to dive into this week’s big question. Tune in to find out… How technology is attracting different communities to new sports Why unexpected role models are the key to keeping young people engaged in sport Why a digital version of Judy Murray popped out of a tube of tennis balls What TV show our hosts and guests would like to live in (our infamous icebreaker strikes again…)   Enjoyed the episode?
