This week Jake and Damian speak with current Nike athlete, and former convicted armed robber, John McAvoy.
John speaks about how his past and time in solitary confinement transformed his view of life and what fuelled him to succeed in the sporting world.
John became the proud holder of three world records and seven British records in indoor rowing, all achieved in confinement.
John’s book – Redemption is available to buy here.
