The Olympic Channel

Position Held: Freelance Writer

Brief:

I was commissioned to profile the US Olympic team gold medalist, David Boudia to highlight both his athletic successes and his mental struggles as he trained for various diving competitions for The Olympic Channel.

The piece was to be part of a campaign called ‘What moves me’ in partnership with Toyota. The aim of the campaign was to encourage a younger demographic to take part in sports and engage with The Olympic Channel.

Result:

Boudia was interviewed in the US and I created the profile based on the transcript and research. An important angle to capture was how competitive sport can have a positive impact on mental health. To see the published version on The Olympic Channel, click here.
