“I hear people bemoan the fact that we’ve all gone soft,” says Mark Warburton, the Manager of Queens Park Rangers. “No we haven’t.”<\/h4>\n
\n

Warburton is tackling the pressing question of managing Generation Z athletes and quickly comes to their defence.<\/p>\n

“We’ve just adapted as a society and it’s the dinosaurs who don’t change who will be left behind.”<\/p>\n

Gen Z was just one of the topics in a broad discussion as the QPR Manager sat down with Leaders Founder and CEO Jimmy Worrall on the eve of Rangers’ pre-season.<\/p>\n

Also on the agenda were:<\/p>\n

– The unintended consequences of sport’s lockdown [6:00];<\/p>\n

– Why support staffs are too often ‘top heavy’ in the modern game [11:30];<\/p>\n

– Warburton’s approach to risk and reward as informed by his former career as a trader [20:30];<\/p>\n

– His thoughts on the future of football below the top tier [26:30].<\/p>\n
