“I kept that tunnel vision and focused on the hurdles”
Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill is one of Great Britain's most successful athletes. She’s an Olympic champion and and three-times world champion heptathlete. She’s very clearly a Top Lobster!
It wasn’t all plain sailing for Jess to get to that point though. In this wide-ranging conversation, Danny Donachie and Lisa Morton discover what it took for her to earn those gold medals. They hear about the bullying Jess had to encounter as a child, because of her size. They also discuss the intense training and injury that Jess had had to come back from. You also get to hear what it’s like to try and concentrate on your next race when there are 80 thousand people cheering you on.
