    This weeks guests I am joined by coaches at Everyday Athlete Gym John Valbonesi & Tommy young!

    These  guys were our first guests on the All About Ability podcast and now  come back for episode 50. We talk about what started Everyday Athlete  Gym, the My Peak Challenge,  the importance of mindset/routine, keeping a  healthy business relationship. Tommy’s time as a Muay Thai champion  plus so much more.

    We ask coaches questions such as how Tommy  trains fighters and the best way to support his athletes outside of the  ring. John training actors like Sam Heughan for different roles, as well  as adaptive training.

    Loved this conversation, these guys have  helped me so much with the start of this podcast and it was a great  feeling to have them back on in our new set up all these episodes later!  Listening back I took so much motivation from the attitude and outlook  they have, definitely work a watch.

    This weeks guest I am joined by Celtic FC Foundation CEO Tony Hamilton! 

     

    Tony tells us the incredible work the foundation does year round to help those in need. From the football for good fund to their own projects. Some of the main focuses on tackling poverty and equality. Tony took the time to explain exactly where all the money raised from 1000KM challenge will go and I loved hearing it.


    After discussing with previous guests the need to get more big clubs involved in Powerchair football through the foundations, I got the chance to finally make our case to him. 


    We got great stories on Lubo Moravcik, previous celtic managers, Kenny Dalglish and more. 


    Really enjoyed talking with Tony, was a pleasure.
