Episode 7
Owen Livesey is a 10 time Continental Open medalist in Judo, Commonwealth Games Champion and multiple British Champion. He walked away from Judo at the end of his Junior career before coming back 2 years later to put in a massive effort for the 2016 Olympic Games. After missing Olympic Qualification in the last tournament he struggled to replicate the buzz of Judo and found himself lost for some time. He has since found a passion for coaching and has opened his own gym - Carlson Gracie Hull. Owen is really reflective in this conversation and provides a fascinating insight in to the ups and downs of full time Judo.
