In the series 1 finale of What Happens Next, Steve Morris explores the compelling journey of Mack Horton. From the intense pressures of elite competition to his unwavering stance against doping, his career was defined by more than just medals. As Steve navigates the uncertainties of his own retirement, he sits down with Mack to understand his decision to retire, and to explore how an athlete redefines themselves after stepping away from the peak of their sporting life. Mack discusses the transition, the search for new purpose, and the lasting impact of a career lived with conviction.Contact the show: [email protected] music by Podington Bear.What Happens Next is hosted by Steve Morris.
