Boxing has given me and shown me what we can achieve when we do work out, no matter what it is.
Imagine being at the top of your game, only to have it all come crashing down. That's exactly what happened to professional boxer Graham 'G-Train' McCormack. In this gripping episode of 'The Fettle Podcast', hosted by Tony Kelly, Graham opens up about his tumultuous journey through the highs and lows of his boxing career and his battle with addiction.
From losing his Celtic championship due to a disastrous weight cut and training camp to finding solace and strength in his recovery program, Graham's story is nothing short of inspiring. He doesn't shy away from discussing the raw realities of addiction, including its impact on his family and his own mental health struggles. Graham also highlights the transformative power of therapy, which helped him overcome self-loathing and negative self-talk.
As if the episode wasn't already packed with emotion and insight, Tony pays a heartfelt tribute to his late cousin David, who passed away just a day before the podcast's release. This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, vulnerability, and the importance of mental health in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
