Episode notes
On our 4th podcast we are joined by a world-class gymnast who has recently announced his retirement from the sport. Nile Wilson has seen fantastic success over his career and medalled at two Commonwealth Games, the World Championships and the Rio Olympic Games.
Nile never fully recovered from a bulging disc injury suffered in his neck after the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which forced him to have corrective surgery and led to him battling depression and anxiety. Nile has first-hand knowledge of the highs and lows that sport can bring, and on this podcast, he talks about the impact this had on himself and those around him.
