18. The Help Side - Nathan Eglington - Part B

#TheHelpSide Our guest this week is former Kookaburra and ex Kookaburra Assistant Coach Nathan Eglington. ‘Eggy’, as he’s known, has an incredibly unique story built on equal parts success and hardship. Before being forced into retirement at just 27 after suffering a horrific injury on the training pitch, Eg amassed 140 games, 50 goals and an Olympic Gold medal. Known as one of the most damaging ball runners to ever play for the Kookaburras. But as Eggy will tell you, what he achieved on the hockey pitch takes rather a back seat compared to some of the things he’s overcome and managed throughout his life. 

In this episode, Part B, Eglington talks through his horrific injury that led to retirement, being a Guinness world record holder and life as a father to a very special family. Please enjoy the Help Side of Nathan Eglington.
