    With the 2021 Tokyo Olympics set to begin next month, David Eades
    chats with Olympic gold medalist and World Champion bobsledder

    elite athlete striving for the top, reaching the pinnacle and then coming to
    terms with the fulfilment of a dream. He also explains how he channeled
    that intensity into “Classroom Champions”, an award-winning initiative
    that connects star athletes to school children to improve their desire to
    learn, to find inspiration and to do well at school.  “It’s not about telling
    kids a story.  It’s about having kids be part of a story, part of a
    journey”.
