As well as learning golf alongside Natalie, the 37-year-old also impressed on the gruelling 'SAS Who Dares Wins' programme where she went through some of the military's toughest tests. And if you thought that was hard, the mother of two also managed to complete the Namibia Ultra Marathon, which is a series of three marathons across the dessert in boiling temperatures...impressive is an understatement.

Next up for this series is Sky Sports News presenter Bela Shah. We discuss her unusual journey from law, to presenting one of the biggest sports news programmes in the world.

We also talk about her golf progression and why it's never too late to start the sport. Bela and Natalie prepare to compete in a brand new golf competition with two other women, who feature in the series. Bela is truly inspiring, so don't miss out and have a listen! Hosted on Acast.

It's another one for all you racing fans! Next up is former Force India star Paul di Resta. The Scot discusses his route into professional racing through carting and what it was like finally catching his big break at the top of the sport. Although he's not been a lead driver since 2013, di Resta has still made some appearances, most notably standing in at short notice for Felipe Massa in 2017. Di Resta's career hasn't just been on the track, he's now turned into a leading pundit and commentator with Sky Sports. He talks about the transition to that and has his say on the Lewis Hamilton v Max Verstappen debate. Keep listening, they'll be plenty more great guests on the way! Hosted on Acast.
