Today I’m welcoming back my amazing client and friend, Chris Hunt Skelley MBE and owner of 2 Olympic medals. Chris, for anyone who doesn’t know him, is a Judo champion who won a gold medal in Tokyo, and a bronze medal in Paris.

This year has been a particularly traumatic one for Chris, who has had a lot of struggles with his mental health, leading up to taking part in his third Paralympics. I know you’ll be equally as shocked as I was when you hear why.

On more than one occasion this year, he was questioned about his condition. Even though the competition organisers had already received information about Chris’ ocular albinism, they asked for more, which brought back memories of his teenage years when he was admitted to a psychiatric ward because the doctors thought he was making things up in his own head! This sent Chris in a downward spiral with his mental health.

Chris also talks about how much support he gets from his lovely wife Louise Hunt Skelley, his coaches, family and friends too. He also talks about the highly emotional interview that Louise did with him in Paris after he’d just won his bronze medal.

We talk about the important job his sponsors do, and how they help athletes to access the training they need.

Having recently been diagnosed with Coeliac disease, Chris explains how this can mean that when travelling outside of the UK, he has to pack food to take with him, to keep him healthy. And, when they have a weight restriction, this doesn’t help!

If Chris’ attitude to life doesn’t impress you, nothing will!
