For this episode I spoke with Ger Redmond, Irish professional triathlete who has truly turned his life around in an extraordinary way. Ger shared his experiences growing up in one of Ireland’s roughest areas, having his pro soccer dreams dashed, having to raise his younger siblings following his father’s imprisonment, his progression through the ranks of a criminal gang and his eventual prison stint.
I asked Ger about his post-prison transformation into an elite athlete and a mentor for young male offenders at Oberstown juvenile detention center in Dublin.
Ger shared his thoughts on channeling trauma, dealing with repressed emotions, giving up the crutches of drink/drugs, what can be done to break the cycle of generational crime/imprisonment and much more..
