Ruby Walsh won the Grand National on his first appearance at just twenty years of age and since then he has become one of the world's most prolific jockeys. This week he talks to Jarlath about how working abroad caused him to fear missing the important moments in his children's lives, why people shouldn't be afraid to be wrong, and how being a professional athlete requires a certain level of selfishness.
Ruby also explains how he lives a life on the road with a very limited diet, why he encourages others to stick with school and see it through to completion, how he maintains a friendship with one of his biggest rivals, why he believes in luck, why jockeys help each other out mid-race, and much, much more.
