Professional rugby can be a pressured world, and in my experience, particularly while at Wasps, chaplains can really help. They provide an independent ear, and are a good place to get confidential counsel and advice. It is an important role.

Presented by Norman Brierley and Adrian Barnard.
“Following the tragic suicide of Germany goalkeeper, Robert Enke, we talk to football chaplain, Matt Baker, (below left) about his role providing a listening ear to players experiencing the struggles of life. For several years Matt has been chaplain at former Premier League side, Charlton Athletic FC. He recently been appointed Pastoral Support Director in English Football, partly financed by the Professional Footballers Association, the Premier League and Football League Trust.
On Sunday the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals begin in London. The major tennis event features the world's eight top male players in this traditional end-of-season competition. Former Wimbledon champion, Pat Cash, offers his thoughts on the tournament and the players likely to make an impact.”
