Michelle Griffith Robinson - If not you, then who?

So you spent over a decade in elite sport.

So how did your identity shift when that chapter ended? That was 20 years ago.

I retired at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

It's my last competition.

My daughter was there.

My husband was there.

My mum and stepdad were also there as well.

And it was quite an emotional moment knowing that that was going to be the last time I would compete in spikes and represent my country, which was England then.

I was ready.

I was ready to retire.

I knew I wanted to do more.

So with a lot of sports people, they sometimes struggle significantly when they come to that end point where actually the focus is no longer about them.

What's next? But for me, I'd already set up a personal training company seven years prior.

So that was an easy one for me to fall back on.

And I'd also had a child and I always wanted to be a mum.

As much as I mean, obviously, I didn't know that I could be a mum, but that was my desire.

I wanted to be a mum.

So I had my personal training company and I was a mother already.

So my transition was OK.

That identity was I'm also going to be a businesswoman and I'm also then going to be a mum.

and I'm going to be an Olympian.

So my identity didn't impact me so much at all.

But I do know, and I have to hold that space for those who sometimes really struggle with their identity when they retire from sport, or when they go into motherhood, they lose that identity, which I'm sure Sarah, for yourself, you know, you would have felt sometimes, who am I?

It is a struggle.
