Realising Your Potential In Conversation with Paralympian, Erik Horrie and Coach Jason Baker Realising Your Potential

Thank you for tuning in to this special series of Realising Your Potential from Accolade Wines. In this episode, Anj talks with the hugely successful coach and athlete partnership that is Jason Baker (JB) and Erik Horrie.

This episode looks at the challenges of overcoming adversity, to find purpose and world championship success. Erik tells us how a car crash turned his life upside down. As he learned to adapt, Erik looked to sport to help him cope. He talks not only about his drive and passion, but also his darker moments and struggles with mental wellbeing.

JB is a trusted and calming influence for Erik. Theirs is a Relationship based on honesty and acceptance. They grew together from coach and athlete, to supportive friends.
