The 42 Sports Podcast

In this short December episode, Joshua reflects on the journey of running the 42 Sports Podcast—the fun moments, the challenges, and even the lows. As the year wraps up, why not consider starting that thing that’s been on your heart? God moves when we say Yes.

On this episode, I discuss a possible solution to Manchester United’s decade-long struggle since the Sir Alex Ferguson era. I explore why the way forward isn’t lowering standards, but shifting perspective — not a drop in ambition, but a much-needed change in mentality.

After this weekend’s Ireland–Boks clash, it’s obvious: safety rules are being misapplied, and they’re draining rugby of the wild, fiery energy that once defined it.

In this episode of Meet the Athlete , I chat with cyclist Jaedon Terlouw. He opens up about his career so far and gives us an honest look into the mental battles that come with his sport — including moments after tough races where he struggled to see the value of life. Yet through it all, he reminds himself that this is the path God has set before him.

In this episode, I talk about how a single win can be the spark that triggers the change you’ve been working toward! Stay consistent — your time is coming. Do what you can, and trust God to take care of the rest. That win is coming!

Join me for Episode 3 of the Meet the Athlete series as I chat with talented Harlequins scrum-half, Stefan Putter . Stefan opens up about his rugby journey, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and his aspirations for life both on and off the field. He also shares his thoughts on leadership — reminding us that, as he puts it, “what’s a team without a leader?”

Following up on last week’s episode, “Performance Is Not Your Identity,” today I explore what true success looks like for an athlete. Is it about collecting medals and personal accolades? While that’s one form of success, there’s far more to building a lasting and meaningful career than just the trophies.

Join me for Episode 2 of the Meet the Athlete series , as I chat with talented footballer Ingoma Mwanza , who currently plays as a striker for Spanish side UD Melilla . Ingoma shares his journey with the beautiful game — from humble beginnings to playing in Europe — and offers valuable advice to the next generation of African players chasing their football dreams.

Rueben Amorim’s story at United reminds us that success isn’t always straight up. From being written off and sitting 15th last season to now turning things around, he’s proving that growth takes time — and sometimes, suffering. Life works the same way. You’ll have highs and lows, moments you shine and moments you fall short. But your performance isn’t your identity. You are more than your results...

On Wednesday, we introduced the topic of how gambling is ruining sports. Interestingly, just a day after our episode dropped, news broke that the FBI had launched an investigation into illegal gambling within the NBA. In this follow-up episode, we continue the conversation, diving deeper into how gambling is affecting the integrity of sports and our hope to see change in the industry.

South Africa’s sports betting industry is booming — generating trillions and shaping the way we watch the game. But beneath the bright lights and sponsorship deals lies a darker truth. I explore how gambling is distorting the purity of competition, pressuring athletes, and draining a nation that can’t afford the addiction. This one’s not about judging — it’s about waking up.

Manchester United are back on the rise after a massive win over Liverpool — but for the Reds, the pressure is starting to mount. Is it time for fans to really start rethinking Arne Slot’s approach at Anfield? In today’s episode, I break down what United got right, where Liverpool are struggling, and what this result could mean for both sides moving forward. Plus, we shift gears to Formula 1 — Max...

Every athlete has a story. For Andre Chizinga , it’s one of resilience and purpose. In this episode, he opens up about his passion for sprinting and how his brother’s passing inspired him to chase greatness.

Bafana Bafana have done it — they’ve officially qualified for the World Cup! 🙌🇿🇦 Big shoutout to Coach Broos and the team for making the nation proud. In this special episode, I reflect on their journey and connect it to Ecclesiastes 11:4 — a powerful reminder about taking action in faith and not waiting for perfect conditions. This one also marks the very first ministry-themed episode on the sho...

South Africa gears up for a crucial clash against Rwanda as Bafana Bafana fight to keep their World Cup dreams alive. With their fate also tied to Benin’s result against Nigeria, every goal and every point matters.

South Africa is one of the world’s top sporting nations, but investment in youth development and sports systems remains low. In this episode, we explore why SA is a global sports powerhouse, the challenges holding us back, and what it will take to secure our place among the world’s best
