Retired Olympic swimmer Michael Jamieson spent the morning of his first day as an ambassador for Laureus talking to some of our coaches. Laureus’s Sport for Good initiative supports Carney’s Community.

Jamieson spoke rivetingly about mental health and problems in British Sport, and about doping in world swimming.

You can read more about Jamieson and how he went from the high of an Olympic medal to the dark lows of depression and came back again in this piece in The Guardian newspaper.
