This week we bring you our conversation with Dr. Lindsey Darvin where we talk about the new 'Name, Image and Likeness legislation' and the impact it might have on women's sports in the US. (There is also a snippet at the end where we talk with VEO CEO, Henrik Teisbæk. VEO is one of the world's most innovative and fast-growing sports tech companies right now whose main product is a football/soccer camera that records matches without a camera man, using artificial intelligence!) Check out links below.
