Paul is back for another episode. This episode is Part 2 of looking back over the years at some of the great Sporting Role Models who have inspired on and off the sporting arena. In this episode Paul will talks about Wayne Pearce, a great Rugby League player from the 80's who was clean cut, played fair and inspired many in a tough sport. Paul will talk about how Wayne Pearce is doing great things now, especially through his motivational speaking where he speaks to many and inspires them to do their very best, overcome adversity, teamwork, leadership and creating a high performing culture. Paul will also talk about some other sportspeople who have been role models such as former Rugby Union player Nathan Charles who despite having Cystic Fibrosis, went on to play at representative level and play for his country. He is now doing great things to promote Cystic Fibrosis awareness.

In this episode Where Are They Now? Paul will talk about the great John Maclean, an Australian triathlete, rower and motivational speaker who despite being hit by a truck and becoming an Incomplete Paraplegic when his sporting career was beginning to take off, has never given up, has shown incredible courage and determination. Maclean has achieved remarkable feats such as finishing the Hawaiin Ironman (the most grueling one day sporting event), swimming the English Channel, claiming medals at the Paralympics in different disciplines. He does amazing things helping others through his foundation e.g., enabling children to purchase wheelchairs and is a much sought after public speaker who inspires through sharing his story, his extraordinary achievements and philosophies on life.
