When does a dream become a realistic goal?

And once it becomes a goal, how hard is the work to get there?

Episode two, in our five-part series, explores when our athletes first realised their dreams could become a reality and the path they took to shape their careers.  

How did they come to that decision and what did their friends and family think? How did they decide to make the jump into the unknown and follow their heart? Did they have to overcome thoughts of doubt and what did they tell themselves at the time?

In this series, we explore the story of four incredible Olympians and Paralympians – Nicola Adams, Sarah Attar, Natalie Du Toit and Rose Lokonyen as we explore - what’s the power of being first?
