Geoff Huegill’s name is synonymous with success. He’s a swimmer and dual Olympian, with 72 international medals under his belt.  At the height of his career, he held eight world records and was known for his incredible comeback after coming out of retirement in 2008 - winning two gold at the Delhi Commonwealth Games, breaking a Games record and even his own personal best time. But he’s had his struggles - getting caught with a small amount of cocaine at the races, being in the public eye and scrutiny over his fitness. In this episode, Geoff talks openly about how he came back from those low points, how he deals with the harder emotions, and reveals the last conversation he had with his Dad - when he was just 12 years old.
