E49 - Stephen Hendry: No compromise; the cost of high performance

Dubbed the ‘King of the Crucible’, Stephen changed the game and many would argue that he is the greatest snooker player of all time.Stephen retired in 2012 and became a regular face of BBC’s snooker coverage, but now, after an eight-year absence, he will return to snooker’s main circuit.A big thanks to our founding partners Lotus Cars and GIVEMESPORT - the exclusive sports partner of the High Performance Podcast.
