Manage episode 316493043 series 3127720
James and Alice Luetchford are not only two of Michael's clients, they're also rising stars in the world of para alpine ski racing.
The married couple have had a bumpy ride from day 1, with James being diagnosed with severe sight loss the day before their wedding.
Their career in skiing was born when on holiday, a ski instructor suggested Alice guide James down the slope.
In November 2016, they competed in their first ski race for Great Britain and the rest is history.
In today's pod, we hear more from James & Alice on their relationship as partners and athletes, the sport itself and their constant fight to get funding and support after an error saw James reclassified as having had his eyesight restored.
An amazingly inspiring story for the Tip Nation, on revaluating your potential and setting goals that may seem beyond your abilities.
