Tyler Hamilton on Doping and Forgiving Lance Armstrong
In today's podcast I chat to Tyler Hamilton, we chatted about some really key moments and experiences in his career. Firstly, his move to Europe for racing was a game-changer in his career, the tight bond within the US Postal Service team, which was crucial despite all the skepticism they faced.
And above all Tyler's story about doping was eye-opening—seeing how it tangled him up morally and emotionally. And the whole doping culture, especially after the scandal, took a shady turn, getting more secretive. Dealing with all of this, the toll on Tyler's mental health and personal life was significant. And, of course, getting caught was a whirlwind, but it sparked a period of growth and honesty for him.

Goal-Driven: The Remarkable Career of Olivia O'Toole
In today's podcast Anthony chats to Olivia O'Toole, a name that holds not just recognition but legendary status within the realm of Irish football. Olivia, the leading goal scorer for the Irish national team, has not only etched her legacy on the pitch but also provided a stirring example of overcoming challenges and turning obstacles into opportunities for success.
Hailing from the heart of Dublin's inner city, Olivia's path to becoming an international football icon is truly extraordinary. In an environment where opportunities were scarce and societal expectations often constrained ambitions, Olivia's love for football shone brightly. From playing in the streets of Sheriff Street to commanding international arenas, her journey stands as a testament to the strength of a compelling vision.
This narrative transcends football; it's a tale of breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and paving the way for future generations of female athletes.
