#230 David Gillick // A life in sport and the race

On episode 230 I am delighted to sit down with David Gillick for a wide-ranging conversation on elite performance, importance of culture and environment, mentality, media work, presenting and life beyond the track. David reflects on the highs and lows of competing at the highest level in athletics, what it takes to perform and his European wins.  We also discuss his book 'The Race', detailing stories and insights from his life on and off the track. From competing to working in media, David opens up about transition, purpose after elite sport and how he has remained in the minds of the Irish public. We also discuss the future and potential of the current golden crop of sprinters taking the world by storm. This is a very honest conversation with one of Ireland’s most respected sporting voices and is one of the most enjoyable episodes to date.
