My guest today is Michelle Sng, National High Jumper, SEA Games Gold Medalist, Adidas Creator, and Comms Specialist.

I first met Michelle at an Adidas Runners Singapore event and again when she was seeking treatment for plantar fasciitis at my red-light therapy wellness studio. Those casual chats would have never revealed the dark periods and troubled times that Michelle underwent as Singapore’s number one high jumper, a label that actually worked against her performance and the hanging up of her spikes in 2010. I am thankful for her time as guest on the podcast as she shares the journey of coming full circle, winning a SEA Games Gold Medal, and continuing to represent Singapore since.

I hope you enjoy the session as much as I did.

Welcoming Michelle Sng.

My guest today is Sidney Kumar, former Singapore Rugby Player, Educator, Coach, Husband, Father and Podcast Host.

Even though we’ve known each other a short time and I am 7 years older, the fact that he plays a team sport and that we share the same alma mater, makes everything so much more relatable.
