Parkinson's disease, tennis, and why being kind is important with Andy Wright and Tristan Hessing

Father of three, Andy Wright, stepped away from tennis for six years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A chance meeting with Tristan Hessing led to a community tennis project. Now, Andy is back playing. We talk friendship, kindness, and how playing sport can have unexpected consequences. “[You have to] find a way to manage and cope and move forward. “I hope that's what I've done. I hope I can do it again.” Find more episodes and ways to subscribe at OlympicChannel.com/Podcast
