Interviews with Sport stars
Asking just three questions, our Director of Sport, Iain Simpson, discusses the career highs and lows of some notable sportsmen and women. He asks:
-
What are you most proud of?
-
What was the hardest point in your career and how did you cope with it?
-
What advice would you give to your 16/17-year-old self?
