Ready, Set, Glasgow: Dan Pembroke - overcoming sight loss, a second chance & being a dad

The England Athletics Podcast has relaunched with a new series called "Ready, Set, Glasgow", inspired by the upcoming Commonwealth Games. The show is newly available to watch on YouTube, while also being on audio platforms Spotify, Apple Podcasts and SoundCloud. Two-time Paralympic javelin champion and F13 world record holder Dan Pembroke joins regular host and athletics commentator Alex Seftel as a co-presenter for the series. In this introductory episode, Pembroke explains how he was diagnosed with a rare condition as a child, which led to the deterioration of his eyesight. As a young athlete, he was a rising talent in javelin, until a serious ligament injury hampered his ambition to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Unsure of how much time he would have left to see the world, Pembroke went travelling, taking on backpacker jobs abroad like working on farms. When he returned to the UK, he worked as a sports massage therapist, but the javelin itch returned. Para athletics gave him a second chance to achieve his dreams and he never looked back. In the last two years since his Paralympic title, Pembroke has started brewing his own beer called Paris Gold. He has also become a dad for the first time.
