'I got back to racing five months after giving birth,' #SportyAF

Katy Nicholls talks about having on and off days after giving birth to her son, and the steps it took to get back into training.

In the fifth episode, ‘The Next Chapter’, Abi Burton (rugby sevens), Katy Nicholls (cycling), Kimberley Woods (canoe slalom), Nekoda Smythe-Davis (judo), and Dr Kate Hutchings (UKSI) join host AJ Odudu to discuss how professional athletes develop their careers over the various phases of their lives – and how their careers change over time due to a number of reasons.

The panel discuss competing against the age clock, how changes the body affect athletes in a career where they are so reliant on their physical abilities, and how all this impacts their plans for the future.
