A Gambling Harm Prevention Podcast brought to you by our Partners<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cStudent-athletes in the United States are four times more likely than the average college student to have a gambling problem.\u201d<\/h6>\n

It\u2019s a startling revelation from Mike Huber, an advisor with our Partners at EPIC Risk Management, on this Gambling Harm Prevention edition of the Leaders Performance Podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking it a step further,\u201d he continues, \u201cwe ask the question in our sessions \u2018why do you think that is?\u2019 And the reasons that come up from a lived experienced perspective, a research basis, are the personality traits of an athlete. The competitiveness, the ego. Sometimes it\u2019s injuries when they have downtime.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reasons why athletes gamble \u2013 in the US and beyond \u2013 are manifold, as we discussed during this episode, where Mike was joined by Ben McGregor, EPIC’s Director of Sports Partnerships.<\/p>\n

Over the course of our conversation with Mike and Ben, we covered:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The reasons why gambling harm is often misunderstood in sport [7:30];<\/li>\n
  • How EPIC helps people from understanding the issue to offering help [18:00];<\/li>\n
  • The importance of supporting staff members in gambling harm prevention [20:30];<\/li>\n
  • Using interventions to limit the impact of gambling harm [31:30].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
