I'm still a professional athlete, I'm not going to be a professional athlete for One Year. So you're full of shit if you're making excuses, you're only making excuses to say you can't do it, you're just being lazy or you're just being whatever. I get a smile and I look at my kids like I'm their hero, and that, to me, is magic, because before I changed that I didn't get that.
Imagine having your dreams crushed and finding yourself on a dark path. That's exactly what happened to Ger Redmond, who once aspired to be a professional footballer. When those dreams fell apart, he turned to a life of crime, eventually landing in prison. But Ger's story doesn't end there. On this episode of The Hooked On Health Podcast, Ger sits down with host Eric Donovan to share how he transformed his life through sheer determination and the power of sport.
Ger’s journey from the depths of criminality to becoming an Ironman triathlete is nothing short of extraordinary. After serving time, he made a conscious decision to change his life, not just for himself but for his children and the young people in his community. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far you fall, you can always rise again.
Eric Donovan, who knows a thing or two about overcoming challenges himself, guides the conversation with empathy and insight. They discuss the importance of mental toughness, the role of positive role models, and how sport can be a transformative force. Whether you're looking for motivation to overcome your own struggles or just love a good redemption story, this episode is packed with inspiration.
Tune in to hear how Ger Redmond turned his life around and became a beacon of hope for many. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the incredible changes that can happen when you refuse to let your past define you.
