England face Spain in the final on Sunday morning, which is expected to see millions of viewers glued to their screens to see if the Lionesses can become the first senior England football team to win a World Cup since 1966.

And Bronze, one of the stars of the team, predicted World Cup glory would be achieved in conversation with Halifax firm Immerse Recovery’s podcast ‘The Immerse Podcast’.

Immerse Recovery is a health and wellness recovery products company, based at Croft Myl in Halifax, founded by Kennedy Power, Alex O’Keefe, and Daniel Ramsden.

Their flagship product, the Immerse Recovery VITAL Tub, is a cold water therapy tub aimed at enhancing recovery for everyday individuals and elite athletes.

Recently they have become the official recovery partners of Bury FC and are closely affiliated with other high performing athletes.

The founders’ podcast has hosted an impressive array of guests, ranging from accomplished sports figures to influential entrepreneurs, including ex-professional rugby league star Jamie Peacock MBE, former Wales international and West Bromwich Albion footballer Hal Robson-Kanu, James Collier, co-founder of nutrition brand Huel, and Ross Katz, a Hollywood film director renowned for directing ‘Lost in Translation’.

The podcast's recent highlight was an exclusive conversation with Bronze in London ahead of the Women’s World Cup. The conversation delved into her inspiring journey from childhood to becoming a four-time UEFA Champions League winner and a European Championship winner with England.

The team asked Lucy if England were going to win the World Cup to which she replied ‘yes’.

Alex O’Keefe, one of the three founders, said: “Immerse Recovery are setting new benchmarks in the health and wellness industry, we have committed to providing products that enhance recovery, performance, and overall well-being.

"As the company plans to release more innovative recovery products in the future, the local community and global athletes alike can look forward to reaping the benefits of Immerse Recovery's visionary approach to health and wellness.”
