Two world titles and Olympic medals don’t necessarily set you up for what comes next.
Following the London 2012 Olympics Alex stepped away from the sport that had defined him. He then spent time carving a ‘successful’ path in the city, only to find that his life lacked the purpose that he needed to live in a wholesome way.
After years of trying to find a substitute for what elite sport gave, Alex found that even the sport he loved was masking a much more deeply rooted issue.
In a brutally honest conversation of self-reflection and the search of one’s own identity, Alex gives an insight into how we can go some way to helping ourselves and those close to us.
