" Spending time with my young family is my favourite way to relax and unwind outside of work. Travel is another of my great passions beyond sport, and I’ve been fortunate enough to visit all seven continents. My career in tennis coaching has taken me to all four Grand Slam tournaments, where watching Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic in action was always a privilege. In my spare time, I love reading sports autobiographies — the more obscure the athlete, the better!

Q&A with Sam Hayes

Having represented Wales at both cricket and tennis as a junior, a career in sport always felt like the natural next step for me. I’ve been immersed in competitive environments from a young age, and that experience gave me a deep appreciation for the stories, emotions, and nuances that make sport so compelling. I’ve always been drawn to great sporting writing, debate, and analysis, and being able to contribute my own voice to that conversation is something I genuinely treasure. Writing about sport allows me to stay close to the action, share insights, and hopefully inspire others who love it just as much as I do.

While my playing days are now largely limited to the 5-a-side pitch, football remains the sport that consumes most of my attention and passion. It’s the unpredictability and emotion of the game that I find so captivating — one moment can change everything. I’ll happily watch any match, from a Champions League final to a non-league fixture, in any place and at any time. Football’s global reach and ability to unite people from all walks of life is something I find endlessly fascinating.

Two unforgettable sporting moments stand out for me beyond football. The first is Roger Federer vs Pete Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001 — often referred to as the ‘Changing of the Guard.’ Watching Federer announce himself on the world stage against one of the game’s greats was a truly special moment. The second is the 2005 Third Ashes Test between England and Australia at Old Trafford — an epic contest that showcased everything brilliant about cricket: intensity, strategy, and drama that kept you hooked until the final ball.

Away from the sporting world, I love spending time with my young family. Having children is its own kind of adventure — full of energy, laughter, and plenty of surprises. Whether it’s getting outdoors, traveling, or simply enjoying quiet moments at home, I find that time invaluable for switching off and recharging from work.

I’ve always admired Serena Williams for the way she redefined what’s possible in sport. Her dominance, resilience, and determination have inspired generations, and her influence extends far beyond the tennis court. Serena’s ability to balance grace and power, as well as her advocacy for equality and representation, make her one of the most remarkable athletes of all time in my eyes.
