Ponch has recently completed her 12 month National Sports Museum Basil Sellers Fellowship and worked with four junior athletes to explore the various kinds of love that circulate within the 'pyramid of sport', a term for the relationship between emotions, motivations and skills needed to achieve athletic success. It depicts both positive and negative experiences (sacrifices and love) made by the athletes, their families and coaches required to succeed at an elite level.
