The One with David Hill

from The LGBT Sport Podcast · host BBC Radio Cornwall

David Hill's Paralympic career began in the pool at the Games in Athens when he was just fifteen years old. It ended more than a decade later - after twelve years of medals at both a World and European level. We're really grateful he's taken the time to join us for a brand new episode of the podcast - and spoken so honestly about why hiding his sexuality had such an impact on his performance in the pool, and how he got past that. Also on the agenda - the growth of para-sport; his work as a mentor and coach; and how he relaxes by making furniture! Even as a proud Cornishman, this is one Devonian we were happy to have on the show - and we think you'll really like him. WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH OUR GUEST?
