In this podcast Gareth shares his story, it is emotive, powerful and inspiring. It involves seeking high performance in and outside of sport, fighting life threaten illness, finding out people you trusted as a player have did not have your best interests at heart. It is ultimately about how he has taken all his experience and is now trying to help former players and athletes avoid following the same fate he faced at the end of his career.
