Description
"I was depressed, i couldn't function..." Andrew Steele is an Olympian who spent 12 years professionally competing in track and field;  specialising in the 400 metre and the 4x400 metre relay for Great Britain.  In 2017 he became an Olympic medallist after he was retrospectively upgraded from 4th place to 3rd from the Beijing 2008 games as a direct result of the Russian doping scandal.  In this episode, Andrew shares the story of his sporting triumphs and failures as a professional sportsperson and how they  inadvertently led him to his current role as one of the founding team at DNAFit, as he speaks honestly about the depression he suffered when he missed out on the London 2012 Olympics due to injury and illness.  Lewis Moody Foundation: https://www.thelewismoodyfoundation.org/ Leon Lloyd and Switch The Play:  https://switchtheplay.com/ Andrew Steele and DNAFit https://www.dnafit.com/
