Aynsley Fry - Founder, Gecko Fitness
How do you go from earning one GCSE to taking a science-based degree?
And how do you find the resilience to carry on when the promise of a professional footballing career is cut short?
Aynsley Fry is the founder of Gecko Fitness, an organisation which brings together fitness, performance, nutrition and clinical excellence via programmes tailored towards the precise needs of young people and elite athletes alike (and everyone in between!). In our conversation we discuss:
* How lack of sports provision in state schools (and over-exercising children in private schools) impact young people
* How he felt when he realised his football career was over
* What boxing prepared him for in the world of business
* Why a 12-week Personal Training course was a turning point
* How it felt to rock up at university in a BMW M3!
There's also reflections on appreciating university education more when the money's come out of your own pocket, and why it's not the end of the world if you don't ace your GCSEs.
