Tom Walsh has been one of the best shot-putters in the world for the last decade so it was an honour to get him on What a Lad for this one.
Plenty of people have suggested over the years to get him on and I can see why, he isn’t just good at what he does but he’s a massive lad with an incredible mindset which has seen him win Gold Medals at the World Champs (outdoor and indoor) and the Commonwealth games while twice picking up a Bronze at the Olympics
Some parts that stood out for me were..
How he is sometimes awkwardly mistaken for the great Joe Moody.
Growing up with Dyslexia and the challenges that came with that.
His upbringing in all sports, a rugby no8, cricket wizard and shot put beast.
How he ended up in shot-put and the unique lifestyle of a shot-putter
Why he kept throwing at this years Olympics even with a torn abductor
As well as plenty of great advice for everyone!
As you’ll hear Tom Walsh is a very likeable character, who has had an incredible career to date and the best thing is that it is not over yet. Hearing the mindset that Tom has, I've got no doubt there's more success to come for this great New Zealanders.
