We preview the new Serie A season as starts and hear a cautionary tale of the cost of chasing a footballing dream from former player Martin Bengtsson whose life has recently been turned into a film. We're in the English West Midlands where fresh off the back of hosting the Commonwealth Games, Coventry is the venue for the 54th International Children's Games. 1,500 athletes will compete in seven different sports and there's cultural events too. It's been held all over the world since the late 1960s and is endorsed by the International Olympic Committee. We hear from organisers and those taking part. Although the Commonwealth Games are over, you may have been inspired to get a bit more active... Maybe you've dug your running shoes out of the closet and you're thinking hard about using them in anger! Well prepare to gain that extra little inspiration you might need. Mara Yamauchi won Commonwealth gold and competed in the Olympics and now the marathon runner has a new book out "MARAthon Wisdom An Elite Athlete’s Insights on Running and Life".
