And these fears can lead to disastrous consequences. Alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, marriage breakdown and suicide. The Wide Open Road podcast series is a resource dedicated to helping current athletes prepare for life after sport by using the experiences of those that came before them in a format that is conversational, informal and informative.
