For our 90th episode we have got two fantastic guests joining us. Lowri and Cyrilyn are a mother and daughter duo who take us on an incredible journey that started when Lowri was just nine.

She wrote a letter to the CEO of Disney about why their princesses did not where glasses. This small but incredibly powerful act had long last effects. In the years that followed, Lowri has been a trailblazer for her cause and has met a Royal Princess, been to the Baftas, wrote her own book, met Disney writers and directors, and started a charity to support those who cannot access eye tests or glasses.

For someone so young, Lowri is incredibly accomplished, and her mum shares the parents’ perspective on this adventure and the astonishing twists and turns along the way.

Lowri has wrote her own book, which you can find out about here:

In this conversation we explore a story, of how a coaching dream sown in Sheffield blossomed into a sports club that delivered incredible community impact alongside Olympic success.

From being gifted a few old trampolines, coach Paul Greaves and a wonderful team around him grew a programme from a few youngsters exploring the sport of trampolining through a thriving club that many years on delivered not one, but two Olympic medals and inspired a whole generation of young athletes.

Our conversation meanders across a range of subjects including teaching and coaching, professionalisation, person centred coaching, CPD and much more. This episode is a sporting journey and a human journey as Paul is still exploring his purpose and place in the world of sport.

This week we’re joined by Jonty Warneken.

Jonty’s story is incredibly moving. His career ambitions, which we explore in our interview, took a significant change of direction, following a horrendous car accident at the age of 22. A leg amputation and rebuilt skull followed, alongside an 8-month stay in hospital.

Jonty takes us on the journey of what happened next, how he had to find a new path. This quest took him to several world firsts for a disabled person, and we explore what that was like when doctors or experts in the field didn’t have the answer.

How do you ski in minus 30 with a metal components forming your leg, how do you swim in icy water with titanium plates holding your skull together? Jonty’s black and white view on what he is capable of is fascinating and we really hope you enjoy this interview.
