In this episode Olympian, Coach and alopecia ambassador Toby Penty shares his journey of self-reflection and discovery throughout his time in elite sport.

Toby shares his insights on how athletes must mature quickly when entering high pressure environments, how he shifted from the individualism of a singles badminton player to giving, mentoring, listening and giving back, and the positive impact that had on his career.

We dive into his personal experience with alopecia, the loss of funding, trying to qualify for an Olympic Games during Covid, and how facing these challenges has shaped him both as an athlete coach and a person helping him grow in ways he never expected.

And as we wrap up, Toby shares the powerful metaphor 'you are a mirror' that will leave you with plenty to think about. Toby's resilience throughout his journey is something we can all learn from. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
