How does a mum of 3 tiny children return to elite training?

Sal Montgomery has a special place in Helen Glover's life. She saved her husband from drowning. And Sal gives a unique insight into how Helen returned to the GB Rowing Squad having had 3 children in the last 3 years.

Sal is an extreme canoeist and adventurer and accompanied Helen's husband, Steve Backshall, on a TV trip to a remote part of Bhutan. She talks about the terrifying moment. But also in glowing terms about how Helen manages family life alongside a return to elite sport. Sal spent the summer with the family as Helen began her training on the river.

I've also got contributions from a team mate, Jonny Walton, on his admiration for one of the stars of world rowing. And from British Canoeing's Director of Performance, Brendan Purcell, who thinks it's an exciting boost for the GB team.

Thanks for listening to the podcast. I hope you're enjoying the series. I'm making them to raise money for Maggie's Cancer Centres, who've been a great help to my wife and family over the last year. If you can spare the price of a cup of coffee that would be much appreciated....it's simple to donate...
