Podcast Overview

This is a podcast interview series where I speak to current and ex high performance athletes in Singapore on their sport, and how the skills learnt, acquired and trained in competitive sport, have translated into their professional and personal life. I hope that their true stories of grit in overcoming adversity, will inspire and motivate others. Hearing stories of local athletes' journeys closer to home, helps us relate better, and makes each story even more meaningful. More about Alex Loh --> https://linktr.ee/alexlohsengyue
