Overcoming Hurdles to Olympic Glory
Lucy Hatton’s story is one of resilience, grit, and breaking through barriers
3rd Fastest Sprint Hurdler in British History, Lucy didn’t have an easy ride to the top
As a young girl, she was faced with the challenge of severe dyslexia, a hurdle that made learning in school feel like an uphill battle
Despite working harder than her peers, the results were often minimal but that never stopped her
At just 9 years old, Lucy found her escape, a place where her relentless effort could truly shine: the track
It was here, in the world of hurdles, that Lucy finally saw a return on the hard work she’d poured into every step of her life
It wasn’t just about crossing the finish line, it was about breaking through the walls that had been built around her
But her journey wasn’t all smooth sailing
Like so many athletes, Lucy faced toxic environments, mental health struggles, and physical setbacks that would have stopped most people in their tracks
Injuries threatened to derail her dreams, but her passion for hurdling and her unwavering belief in herself kept her pushing forward
On today’s episode of Always Another Game, we dive deep into Lucy’s inspiring journey
We explore powerful topics like:
- Overcoming the obstacles of dyslexia in a world that doesn’t always accommodate
- The mental and emotional toll of toxic environments in sport
- Dealing with the pain of injuries and the mental resilience required to come back stronger
