Welcome to a very special episode of the Red Hand Podcast. Ian McKinley was an international out-half who played rugby at the top level in Ireland and then continued his career in Italy after a transformative experience which threatened to end his career before it had really got going. His path has not been a straightforward one. His story is among the most inspiring I've ever heard and was am lucky to be speaking to Ian just ahead of the launch of his book, Second Sight which is now out. I have followed his career since becoming aware of the remarkable resilience and determination he has shown, inspiring so many along the way. The themes ‘never give up' and always push forward despite being told that certain things will be impossible are central to Ian's story. I hope you enjoy this chat and are inspired by it as much as I was.

My guest today is an international rugby player, Ian McKinley. Ian's journey is not straight forward. Like most of my guests, Ian has had to face a number of challenges throughout his life. He speaks openly and honestly to me about a life changing injury that shattered a boyhood dream to play for Ireland one day. He shares some of his darkest moments and how he managed to fight through them to turn his life around. Through resilience and an unwavering determination, Ian found his way back onto the rugby pitch, this time in Italy where he managed to work his way back to professional status, and play international rugby. There is so much to take away from this conversation, never give up, always push forward and the bravest thing of all, is asking for help. I know for one that my pride sometimes gets in my way, when I need help the most, and it is something I work on regularly. Ian reminded me how important it is to share your struggles with people especially when they overwhelm you. We speak about him pioneering the way for goggles to be worn while playing rugby, how he needed people in his life to help him through very difficult times.

May El Khalil was running on the side of road, when she was knocked over and crushed by a truck. The accident caused her to slip into a coma. Once she woke, she lay in a hospital bed for two years and she devised a plan. She wanted to start a marathon in Beirut, Lebanon. The Middle Eastern country had never hosted an event like it due political and social unrest but May, despite the protests, was determined to get her idea over the line. After having 36 surgeries to make her walk again, she travelled the length of the country to promote the event. Since 2003, the event has been used to promote peace in a very unstable country.

Franchise Fraternisation Every summer and winter, the eyes of the football world turn to the transfer window, where players and occasionally coaches move between teams. There is one transfer in US sport that involves players, coaches, the fans and maybe even the cleaning staff. That is the transfer of a team to a new city. Recently, two NFL teams have moved to Los Angeles and the Oakland Raiders are set to move to Las Vegas. Will the constant movement of teams undermine the popularity of US leagues? We spoke to Raiders fan Ray Perez, Dave Cooley who helped move an NFL team to Tennessee and leading sports economist Rod Fort about the relocation. Total Wipeout Andrew Cotton broke his back, after being crushed by a 60ft wave, while surfing in Portugal. We spoke to Andrew from his hospital bed. The Brit says he hopes to return to the waves soon for the summers surf and isn’t concerned that his total wipeout will hinder the possibility of getting new sponsors.
