Stuart Robson - pro speedway racer to fire protection officer

I recently had a conversation with Stuart Robson who is a former professional speedway racer. During this podcast we spoke about life as a speedway racer. Stuart had a long and successful career in the UK representing the likes of Coventry Bees and Newcastle Diamonds to name a few. He mentioned that during his career he thought it would be wise to learn a trade and went to college to study plumbing. Stuart now works for a fire protection company where he is responsible for ensuring that the paintwork and fire walling meets regulations in commercial properties. During the lockdown he also did some work for Tesco where he was a deliver driver and enjoyed the experience. We share the same viewpoint on the subject that athletes need more help when it comes to transitioning away from sport. It's great to see that Stuart has made a successful transition.
