R2Kast 432 – Georgia Holt on elite cycling, veterinary medicine and taking unexpected opportunities

Today I had Georgia on the R2Kast 🎙️ Georgia is a veterinary student, Commonwealth Games medallist and World Champion who has gone from competing at the highest level in para cycling to pursuing a career as a vet. 🌾We spoke about growing up around horses in rural Leicestershire, always wanting to become a vet and then unexpectedly being identified through a talent programme that led her into elite cycling. What followed was a whirlwind few years of learning to ride on the track, competing internationally and eventually representing England at the Commonwealth Games before becoming a World Champion tandem pilot. 🍎 Also! As of date of release Georgia is currently on the ground at Glasgow 2026 commentating on her summer break before 4th year! A big part of the conversation focused on resilience and adapting when plans change. Georgia shared how setbacks in sport ultimately pushed her back towards veterinary medicine, leading her to join one of the UK’s newest veterinary schools and finally pursue the career she had wanted since childhood. 🌍We also discussed veterinary education, practical learning, placements, large animal medicine and the realities of life as a vet student. It was a fascinating insight into two very different worlds that both demand huge commitment, discipline and teamwork.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
