Claire and Producer Caroline spent the week at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, there's an update on the missing airpod (does anyone care?!) and an unconventioal gang at their Airbnb.
David Forde is a former professional footballer and Republic of Ireland international who built an impressive career between the posts. Originally from Galway, David was selected for Ireland’s UEFA Euro 2012 squad and later went on to establish himself as the country’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Since his retirement from football, his journey has taken him well beyond the game. Through personal development, reflection and spirituality. David is an author and a professional coach and mentor in the corporate world. He teaches meditation and breathwork and continues to explore the experiences that shaped him both as an athlete and as a person.
In part one of a two-part episode, Claire and David discuss the impact of alcoholism on a family, the drive and determination it takes to play sport at the highest level and the importance of never wasting a good humbling.
