Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Sit Down with RHS - an exciting new podcast from the Royal Hospital School where we bring to life the unique impact the school makes to young people's lives. In this series, we're chatting to members of the alumni to hear how RHS set them up for success - not just academically, but how it's given them the life skills, confidence and resilience to thrive and follow their ambitions. We'll be hearing from an actor, actress, a singer, an entrepreneur, an artist, a veterinary surgeon and more. Today, we're sitting down with Jonathan Ilori, a pro athlete specialising in the triple jump, long jump and sprinting. We hear how the wide range of activities at RHS helped him avoid burning out in triple jump, what goes through his head before he jumps, and how he's working towards a big season next year. We also hear how he's made an impressive comeback from injury to secure an impressive 4th Place at the Olympic Trials.
