In this episode, Professor Rory O’Connor and Craig spoke to endurance athlete and motivational speaker, James Gwinnett.

After a bad neck injury playing rugby, James developed depression due to his inactivity, which eventually included alcoholism.

Four years later, he found redemption in the form of fitness challenges, starting from running the London Marathon to taking part in Channel 4’s Special Forces training show SAS: Who Dares Wins.

In this conversation, they discussed recovering from addiction, using sport to improve your mental health, and building mental resilience.
