Episode notes
There are very few athletes who arrive on the Paralympic stage and leave with a medal — but that’s exactly what Greg did at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, claiming silver in the men’s quad doubles 🇬🇧🥈
What makes that achievement even more remarkable? He only discovered wheelchair tennis a few years earlier.
Since then, his rise has been nothing short of extraordinary — including reaching a Wimbledon final last year and, more recently, opening up publicly about being gay for the first time.
So when Greg said yes to joining us on the podcast… we couldn’t wait to hit record.
🎧 In this episode, we talk about:
– His journey into wheelchair tennis
– Winning Paralympic silver
– Coming out and sharing his story
– Career highlights and future ambitions
– And so much more
It’s an open, honest and powerful conversation — and one you won’t want to miss.
