On todays show I sit down with Lloyd Wallace. Lloyd is a Freestyle Aerial Skier representing Great Britain. He begun his athletic career as a gymnast but transitioned to aerials later on, representing GB at the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang. He is graduate from the University of Bath, majoring in Finance and Management, and works as an Athlete Manager all while competing at the highest level. In this conversation we cover everything from aerials to retiring and then coming back to the sport. We discuss a coma-inducing accident that happened right before the 2018 Olympics and much much more. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do it!
