Description: It’s become a trope in sports psychology to say that athletes are the only people who die twice – once at the end of their lives and once when they stop playing the sport that has come to define them. We discuss the challenges of retirement with former England rugby player Leon Lloyd, who helps athletes manage the transition into life after sport. Former England cricketer Ryan Sidebottom reveals the mental health struggles that have followed his 20-year career as a cricketer. And how Hal Robson-Kanu went from Welsh footballing icon to turmeric entrepreneur. Panel: Delyth Lloyd, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor & Leon Lloyd Producer: Sam Sheringham
