The One with Jack Woolley

It’s certainly been a rollercoaster few months for Ireland’s Jack Woolley.

At points, it was uncertain whether Jack would be able to qualify for this year’s Olympics in Paris – but qualify, he did, for his second successive Games in a row.

In fact, Jack’s already a history-making athlete, as the first Irish athlete to ever compete in an Olympic taekwondo event – and this time out, he was cheered on by his partner Dave, unlike in Tokyo, where there were just a handful of people on hand to watch his monumental achievement.

Jack’s been someone we’ve wanted to have on for ages, and we’re absolutely delighted we’ve finally managed to make it happen.

This conversation is a cracker – as we look at Jack’s amazing sporting achievements, his drive and self-acknowledged need to be perfect, his life in taekwondo, his Olympics experiences, his journey with his own sexuality, being open for others and so, so much more.

There’s no doubt that Jack is an inspiration for so many folks, including many listening today – and we’re certain you’re going to love this chat.
