In this special episode of the Learning Journeys Podcast, we are joined by 5 time Olympian, 4 time World Champion and 3 time Olympic Silver medallist, Frances Houghton MBE. Frances was the first British woman to be selected for five Olympic Games in rowing, and only the fifth woman in any sport to achieve this mark for Team GB. In this honest, insightful, heart-breaking and inspiring conversation, Frances shares her journey from first stepping into a boat through her 3 very different Olympic Silver medals, burnout and learning to redefine what success looked and felt like.
This is an incredible story from one of the outstanding athletes of her generation so grab a notebook, pen and coffee and enjoy!
