The One with Bethany Tucker

The para-athlete talks sport, sexuality and so much more in a cracker of an episode!

It鈥檚 no exaggeration to say that sport changed Bethany Tucker鈥檚 life for good.

Born with cerebral palsy, she never really enjoyed PE at school 鈥� and only took it up again later in life when her chiropractor recommended it to help with her CP.

That suggestion ended up changing everything for Bethany 鈥� and the T37 para-athlete has now competed far and wide.

She鈥檚 been to Diamond League events, the City Games in Manchester, the Anniversary Games in London 鈥� and after opening up about her own sexuality, she鈥檚 also helping other athletes to feel more comfortable in sport as part of the Athletics Pride Network.

So, this is a fascinating chat with a great guest about all sorts of things.

From finding a sport that accepts you to finding yourself as a person, there鈥檚 plenty in it that we think you鈥檙e going to love - and we鈥檙e grateful Bethany made the time to join us.
