He is the only man in the world to have broken 10 seconds in the 100-meter sprint in three different decades, is an 8-time British 100M champion, has won multiple world athletics medals, and has competed against the likes of Carl Lewis and Usain Bolt. But his career was blighted by doping and performance-enhancing drug use. \n\nIn this candid and provocative episode, Dwain talks frankly about all of it and what he has learnt along the way. He shares how he uses his experiences to work with a new generation of potential athletic stars. We discuss education, discipline, role models and trust.\n\nSubscribe to The Learning Bridge wherever you get your podcasts: https://thelearningbridge.bepodcast.network/subscribe \n\nAbout the host\nRichard Gerver is a sought-after speaker, world-renowned thinker, and bestselling author of books including Change and Simple Thinking.
