People deal with grief in different ways, but how does the process impact athletes in their professional worlds?

On this first episode of Real Talk, Miriam Walker-Khan talks to former Manchester City player Nedum Onuoha, England and Exeter Chiefs scrum-half Claudia MacDonald and 2010 Commonwealth Games champion, boxer Callum Johnson, who have all lost someone close to them. Speaking openly and honestly, these athletes share how they navigate a life and career without them.

This podcast discusses the death of a loved one, which some listeners may find upsetting. If you’ve been affected by anything we talk about in this episode and would like more information on organisations that can provide you with help and support, please head to sky.com/viewersupport.
