Show Notes
Welcome back to the podcast where this week I take a look back over series one with the help of my partner, TV presenter Michelle Ackerley.
It’s been a fantastic start to the podcast and over the course of the past ten week's we've heard from one of the stars of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Tom Fordyce, sprint coach, Margot Wells, sport psychologist, Dr Austin Swain, Fiji rugby player, Nemani Nadolo, New York Knicks performance leader, Erwin Valencia, Andy Murray's strength and conditioning coach, Matt Little, long-time coach of Jessica Ennis-Hill, Tony Minichiello, eye specialist Dr Sherylle Calder and special forces, turned England sevens star, turned entrepreneur, Greg Barden.
It really has been a brilliant first series and over the course of this review we pick out some of our favourite moments, discuss what we’ve both learnt as well as expanding the chat out to topics such as working in the media, lessons for life in general and we also briefly look ahead to series 2 in July and tease who some of my next guests will be.
