02: Olympic Legend Shane Gould

  • Summary

    In episode 2 of What Happens Next, Steve Morris delves into the extraordinary and often misunderstood story of Shane Gould.

    So often in life, we're forced to leave things we love and enjoy. But, what about when we decide to?

    As Steve navigates his own transition into retirement, he seeks to understand the complex forces that led Steve to abandon the pinnacle of her sporting career. Steve e and Shane explore the weight of expectation, the search for identity beyond achievement, and the courage it takes to forge a new path, even when that path diverges from the one everyone expects.
