In this episode world renowned dancer and Principal with The Royal Ballet Steven McRae sits down with me and we dig deep into his ballet beginnings, how he found strength to ignore the critics and how he continues to work hard and keep going. Steven is very honest about his experience with injury and his initial reluctancy to embrace sport science compared to how essential it is for him today .Steven is also so candid about his relationship with his body, how he built his resilience and how he learnt to accept himself fully. From Cats to Nutcracker, school days to fatherhood we discuss it all. Thank you Steven for your generosity, honesty and being such an inspiration to so many!
