036 - We Are Not All Olympians - Andrew Mewing (Part 2)

Wow - what a response to Part 1 of the Andrew Mewing story. The timing was pretty good - coming as so many Australian swimmers failed to convert their dreams into gold at the Rio pool. But from the feedback we got, listeners were just so impressed with Andrew’s story and the way he told it. This is Part 2 of that story. Andrew talks us through his experience at his second Olympic trials - Beijing 2008. He tells us about the expectation he placed on himself, the way his races played out and he gives us the inside story of the events that led up to his challenge of Swimming Australia in court. And of course we talk about Andrew’s post-swimming career. His work as a lawyer and his path to founding his own law firm.
