#08: Tom Ford - Sport & Ambition

When we think of professional athletes we might think of success, drive, ambition, determination and victory.

We all know perseverance is a fundamental requirement to be a professional athlete and to compete at the highest level of any sport, yet do many of us know what it really takes? Do we know what it's really like?

Tom Ford was a professional squash player, ranking as high as 60 in the world. He'd dedicated his life to squash from as early as 9 years old.

He reached the peak of his game and decided to stop, why? His mental and physical health were fatigued from a going all in on squash.

Tom shares his story very openly and gives us all an insight into the world of a professional sportsman.

In this episode, we also welcome Vic Lloyd & Ben Graham from Sanctus who join us to discuss Tom's story and draw out any themes and insights that we believe are worth sharing.

Enjoy!
