#29 Back from the Edge: mental health & addiction in sport with ex-cricket pro Luke Sutton 'The Gift' of Resilience, Calm & Joy

Luke Sutton was a professional cricket player for over 15 years, captaining Derbyshire CCC & also playing for Somerset CCC & Lancashire CCC with the likes of Jimmy Anderson & Freddie Flintoff. Luke is now a successful businessman & agent to sporting stars such as Sam Quek, Nile Wilson & James Taylor, but his life didn’t always look so positive. 

Luke's recent book 'Back from the Edge’ revealed the huge ups & major downs that a professional career in sport can bring – & the mental health & addition difficulties, especially with alcohol, that plagued him along the way. 

During his poignant, amusing & telling chat with The Gift podcast host, Tim Wotton, Luke is brutally but refreshingly honest about the moment he hit rock bottom, how he got there and, importantly, how he found his way out of the biggest hole of his life.

Luke can be found as his name on LinkedIn, Facebook & Twitter.
