Adam Jordan and Harry Collins are a couple of mates (friends) who met in college (university) and have both since embarked on a life in sport(s), either working in the sports industry (Adam) or becoming an academically-official master of sport (Harry). Living on opposite ends of the Atlantic Ocean from each other, their shared love of athletic competition led them to consistently ask each other for perspective on the sporting world from the US and UK respectively. So, they thought, why not let other people learn along with them? One day, they'll each live in each other's countries, but until that day comes, distance learning will have to do.
