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.
