🥊 Talking Boxing, Football, Birthdays and taxi driving with Team GB's Lauren Price

In their youth they had this natural talent Their achievements have been impossible I feel clean in my mind when I see her entering the room Safety more than safety Lauren it's very good for you It's good for your course It's good for your course to connect I was making small talk with people I used them as conversation starters Indeed there are many questions in my mind 18 years ago I was very good at what I did You are entering one of the most challenging years of your career This interest began to arise Yes in reality it was impossible She was truly remarkable not just somewhat impressive Your parents were a big part of your life and they had you too Yes It's remarkable that he has gone ahead last year She had dementia and it's significant that she has moved on She really came across as a very real figure to me There was no way for Lauren's families to look at them We were asking ourselves to go and deal with the service for Lauren We took Lauren with us when she was three days old They were my ways but from when I was 8 years old I went to the Olympic Games I remember being in the library with my mom and the two of them watching the Olympic Games I remember seeing Kelly Holmes enjoying the lights I didn't know what sport I wanted to do at first I wanted to go to the Olympic Games She didn't know when she was young she used to go do something interesting Hi Lauren I need some help I am not interested in one sport but you are interested in this cold weather I'm just starting to play the game I was 8 years old I was playing for a Welsh Football Association club in the Welsh League I had the only choice in the team I was more eager for the choice as well I was 14 years old and a member of the selection committee She looked back at everyone and when we started everyone said Wow wow stop this player what are we going to do First they hope they didn't go out of their car from the garage I was given a senior cap at 16 years old I was given 52 caps for Wales Have you changed back to normal I started playing football when I was 8 so I was pretty good at playing football You are making the language difficult I was making the language difficult I was interested in the song in any kind of interest I was going to play football I was into football and I understood the fans I would have understood football in any way He was wrong but I was interested I was playing football From the age of 16 I decided to box Lauren is a natural Multi-talented Tremendous feet quick hands She's a real rare talent In 2016 after the Rio Olympics I had a trial with Team GB I went from training every night to training with Wales Through the week and then I was taxi driving on the weekends as well To being on a Yeah being on a Taxi driving I love it brilliant Yeah picking up all the drunks on a Friday and Saturday night But they didn't mess with you though Lauren through that No I said yeah It's so interesting about Team GB and this Olympics thing it's been such a big part of your whole life isn't it You've really tried to find your way to that That's your ultimate goal isn't it You want to be at the Olympics Yeah definitely When I was young I had to write this story in school And I had three dreams Lauren said she wanted to be a world champion kickboxer play football for Wales and she wants to go to the Olympics The teacher laughed and I said The thing is you should never try to shatter their dreams She's a phenomenal athlete and a real role model for the females certainly at GB Boxing and in the team She's in a great position now to go on and fulfill her potential which is winning an Olympic medal Lauren obviously a lot of people have been supporting you at home and in your local village Tell me a little bit about what it means to them and what they've done for you I'm from a small town in the Valleys called Ustradmunach I'm having cards sent to my house pictures sent to my house for me to sign And it's just nice to have that support and to inspire the next generation as well And Lauren how is your nan going to support you and keep an eye on what you're doing and keep you motivated When I'm away at a tournament She'll send me inspirational text messages What sort of things does she say in her messages She'll just remind me of how hard I've worked over the years And how much my dreams mean to me And she always used to say to me reach for the moon if I fall short I land on the stars And that's something that's always stuck with me Good words I think she should start a company sending out inspirational text messages to everyone Keep everyone going The Olympics mean the world to me If I were to go and win a gold medal they would top everything in my career It's just sad that her grandfather isn't here to see it because he would have been the proudest man in the Valley Proud more than proud What she's done is unbelievable really It's something that I take with me in the ring I know he's always looking down on me I bet your grandparents are very proud of you I'm sure you'll make them even more proud come this Olympics So well done Thank you very much Thank you
