Digital Sport podcast with Dan McLaren   /     Gail Emms MBE, Olympic Silver Medallist & Head of Marketing at LAPS

Description

Gail is one the UK's most celebrated and successful badminton players of all time. An Olympic Silver Medallist in Athens 2004, World Champion, European Champion, All England Badminton Champion... the list goes on.  We talk about two life changing moments in Gail's career. The 1st being that Olympic dream and the opportunities that opened up as she became a sports celebrity. And the 2nd last year when she wrote about her struggles in finding a post-sports career and the low point she had hit.  There's so much to cover and Gail is as open and honest as ever. I really enjoyed this chat and I hope you do to. You can find out more about LAPS at http://laps.career and you can find Gail on social media at @GailEmms
