A Whole New Ballgame
We interview some of our greatest ever retired athletes who have made a successful, though often challenging transition into post sport life. We discuss the trials they faced along the way, pathways (or lack thereof) within their chosen sports, what inspired their new career path and how the skills and attributes honed in the sporting arena have helped influence their current success.You won't find hard luck stories here. It's all positive and designed to entertain, inspire and educate fans and current day athletes. Thanks for listening.
