RICHARD WHITEHEAD ON INCLUSIVITY IN THE PARALYMPICS, RESILIENCE AND HIS LEGACY
Season 12, Episode 3, Jul 14, 11:00 PM
This week on the #MondayMile podcast, I’m joined by the incredible @richard_whitehead_mbe; the double amputee athlete best known for his world record setting performances in the Paralympics and the full and half marathons. What can’t this man do?
We chat about the duality of Richard’s career - going from the marathon to the 200m and back again - and how he’s quite literally pushing the boundaries of sport to compete and advocate for disabled athletes.
Richard and I also dig into the topic of inclusivity in the Paralympics. He shares his thoughts on what can be improved, the responsibility on the shoulders of all Paralympic and Olympic athletes, as well as how all members of society can contribute. It’s quite the call to action.
A hugely inspiring chat with an incredibly inspiring guy!
