S1 Ep6- Jacob Edwards

Joining me this week is elite gymnast Jacob Edwards. Jacob is already highly regarded in his field and is a decorated junior gymnast, most notably becoming the U16 British all-round champion in 2019. Jacob has now made the step up to compete at senior level despite still being eligible to compete as a junior. This decision was justified by him making the longlist for this year's Commonwealth Games and he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Matthew Hennessey, by representing his country at the Games. The audio is a bit rough around the edges as it was done in a gym with practice in the background and Jacob and I seemingly forgetting the mics were there and becoming animated in our chat but this shouldn't detract from the fact that Jacob is a remarkable young man with a great mentality.
