As both 2020 and Season 2 draw to a close, I am delighted to be joined by none other than Olympic Athlete and Team GB Sprinter, Adam Gemili.
At just 18 years old Adam ran the second fastest 100m ever run by a British Junior, and was selected to take part at the London 2012 Olympic games. As a result, Adam entered his twenties decade as an Olympic finalist, with a big reputation to uphold and an even bigger dream of becoming one of the fastest men in the world.
He competed rigorously in his early twenties, breaking the 10 second barrier for the 100m race at just 21, before suffering a nasty hamstring injury and then coming back with a vengeance to compete at Rio 2016. Despite losing out on a medal position by three thousandths of a second, Adam's perseverance, dedication and passion for the sport has carried him through to win multiple awards since, including gold and silver in two separate 4x100m relay events.
Adam and I chat all things sprinting, dealing with success at an early age, the Olympic Games, juggling relationships with an athletic career, coping with defeat, and how being a decent human being is probably the most important, valuable and meaningful goal you can aim for in life.
