About Us

Welcome to thetalkofsport.com! We were created in September 2009 by sports journalist Brendon Mitchell and now blog with some of the finest young professional athletes from around the globe.

Although we first started out in the summer of 2009 with just tennis player Tatjana Malek on board, we were keen to expand and soon recruited three other young sportspeople – Moises Henriques, Karen Carney and Christian Ribeiro. In September we changed our name to thetalkofsport.com and haven’t looked back since.

In each of the blogs, the athletes talk about their victories and defeats, highs and lows, triumphs and disappointments and anything else that relates to them and their sport. It’s an opportunity for them to connect with you – their fans – and hopefully provide an exclusive insight into what it is to be a young professional athlete.

With your help we hope to provide a hub for top young athletes to blog and share their experiences over this wonderful medium we have all grown to know and love – otherwise known as the internet.

More recently we have even started running a series of special blogs with guest contributors, including rising snooker star Judd Trump. Sports journalist Matthew Kiernan also now provides his own quirky insights into the world of sport.

As we look to move forward, the website now has two primary aims;

Primary Short-Term Aim:

>>> To further expand the pool of young athletes that blog on thetalkofsport.

Primary Long-Term Aim:

>>> To secure funding through sponsorship/advertising to cover our costs.

We are very much a website constantly looking to expand and improve, and if you have questions, queries or suggestions then please don’t hesitate to email us at info@thetalkofsport.com.

Otherwise, enjoy reading the blogs and we hope you’ll return again soon.
