John McAvoy’s history previously read like a who and how to of organised crime but in his own words, sport saved his life. So, how did he go from prison to professional athlete?

Georgie talks to John about his journey back to the outside world and the people who changed his life. He is the perfect example of why giving others a second chance could make a difference and why you should use your experience to help others. With the right circumstance, people and opportunity John believes everyone has the capacity to change and in turn make a difference. The power of sport did that for him.
