    S2 Ep2: Femke Bol
    Apr 23 2024
    For every elite athlete, there's one rival they must all overcome: their own self-doubt.

    And Dutch 400-metre sensastion Femke Bol is no different, despite her dominance on the track. Bol has broken world records and stunned those competing against her, but to do it all she needed to defeat those inner thoughts that made her question if she had the ability to do it at all.

    How does one do that? Where does the courage come from? And how to keep overcoming it to remain at the top of your sport?

    This is Femke's story. In her words.

    Apr 18 2024
    When Keely Hodgkinson steps onto the track inside Rome’s Olympic Stadium this summer, she’ll be carrying the weight and expectation of a nation on her shoulders.

    The reigning 800 metre European champion is fully aware that she enters the arena with all eyes on her, but remains unfazed by what lies ahead.

    But how did she get here? What are the challenges she faced? And who inspired the British athlete to lace up her running spikes once more after she gave up on athletics in her formative years?

    This is Keely's story. In her words.
