Today's guest is making a switch in careers after being forced to quit cycling after an horrific accident.

Imogen Cotter grew up doing lots of sport, particularly running, and won the all -Ireland cross country and track medals when she was in her teens.

She went on a talent transfer programme and became a full-time cyclist with the Irish track cycling team based in Majorca. When things didn't work out she switched to becoming a road racer.

All was going well until 2022 when, during a training ride in Spain, she was hit by a van being driven at 60 km an hour on the wrong side of the road. Her injuries included a broken patella and radius and ruptured tendons and she needed five surgeries and a huge amount of recovery time.

Now she's training to become a sports journalist and already being successful.
