  • Kieron Achara - Mental Health, Self Belief, Sports - All About Ability #90
    This week I am joined by ex professional basketball player and sky sports pundit Kieron Achara!
    Kieron has played for Scotland and team GB at events such as the Olympics London 2012 & Commonwealth games 2018. He has been on a incredible journey and this was such a inspiring/motivating conversation😃
    Covering topics like the importance of self belief, focusing on what you can control, the key components of leadership, how to work on yourself and your insecurities. We didn’t just talk about these things though as throughout Kieron gives detailed advice from his own experiences and the way in which he did can really help anyone who takes the time to watch/listen, you absolutely won’t regret it👏🏻
    So many elements to this that connected with me, that’s not even covering half of it. We all get made to feel a bit different at times in our lives but relating to one another’s struggle is what can truly take stigma away. Please go watch this, he’ll leave you feeling better than before. Let us know what you think🎤

    He also spoke on charity work, giving back to the community he was brought up in maybe a side of him that many don’t know about and it definitely has my respect👏🏻
    Richard’s openness and want to understand more about disability was great. I thought he had a very good prospective when it comes to removing stigma from disability and I really appreciated that. Always one of the aims of the podcast is to bring more attention to disability issues and I am confident we did that have here😃
