Great Britain basketball player Azania Stewart breaks down in tears as she talks about the future for her sport.
Stewart believes the women's game will become virtually "extinct" in the United Kingdom if GB do not finish in the top six at the European Championships in Hungary next month.
In an interview with BBC reporter Chris Mitchell, the 26-year-old Londoner says it's "do or die" as GB attempt to get the result that will secure the funding necessary to continue.
GB's 2015 EuroBasket campaign will be broadcast live on the BBC Sport website and Red Button service.
They play four group games against Russia, Latvia, Serbia and Croatia, with the winners of the tournament certain of a place at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
