Episode 23 -Kate Veale

This week I spoke to Irish racewalker, Kate Veale.

Kate is a former world youth champion and looked on course for a career that promised so much, with Olympic medals looking like being a genuine possibility. However, things started to go wrong for Kate very suddenly and she ended up completely walking away from the sport she loved, experiencing some really low moments along the way which she speaks about very honestly in this episode.

Kate addressed the issues she was experiencing and has made a very successful return to elite level racewalking and is now in the process of hopefully qualifying for the next Olympic Games.

Kate talks very openly about the mental side of elite sport and discusses how she has overcome the challenges she has faced.
