Track & Ball with Ellen White and Richard Whitehead

Values and mindset after injury and illness - Emma Wiggs


Listen Later

Some great thoughts to ponder on in this episode with GB Paralympic gold medal winner Emma Wiggs.
For starters, we talk about the resignation of the head of the Tokyo Olympics Organising Committee, Yoshiro Mori, for making inappropriate remarks about women. We move on to discus the role of the Paralympics in breaking down barriers.
And the there's Emma's journey to Tokyo who took a big bump with a wrist injury in the gym. It was potentially career ending and Emma struggled with both her mental and physical health.
She's readdressed her values and has some fascinating takes on how you see yourself after illness or injury.
Thanks to Emma for a great chat. You can follow her on social media @emwiggsy
