Episode 14 - The Untold Story

Season 1 Episode 14

This episode is a discussion and catch up with former a British International, the remarkable Mandy Costello. I really can't encourage you enough to listen until the end of this podcast as this is a story that should be heard. 

With having a hugely successful career as a junior, Mandy broke into the Senior team, making a name for herself and winning medals on the international stage, when all of a sudden an injury struck and ended her judo career.

Mandy chats openly, honestly and frankly to myself and co-host Karen Roberts about her time in judo, reflecting on the highs of competing, travelling the world and the friends she has made, to the darkest lows when coming to terms with her career ending injury's and reflecting back on the positives, what should change and then looking forward to the future with her fantastic family of husband Gareth and daughters Amber and Brooke.

Lots of considerations for athletes, coaches and Federations...
