3:00 AM Conversations podcast – Stacey Copeland: paving the way for future champions

Hill Dickinson are pleased to bring you the latest episode of 3:00 AM Conversations with guest Stacey Copeland, the first British female boxer to clinch a Commonwealth title and a former professional footballer.

In this episode, Peter Jackson and his co-host Debra Cooper, a partner in our Banking team, ultra runner, and former sports psychology student, explore Stacey’s remarkable career. They hear about her fight against societal ‘norms’ to play football and her later transition to a career in professional boxing.

We hear of the multiple instances of inequality she’s experienced, from continued derogatory comments, to being told there would be no belt for her prior to winning the Commonwealth title.

Her experiences have compelled her to make things better for the next generation, which she hopes to achieve through the foundation of her charity, ‘Pave the Way’.

Stacey’s story is not just about sporting success; it’s about empowerment, community, and the relentless pursuit of equality.

We hope you enjoy.
