Homeless, Broke and Suicidal: Anthony Watson's Olympic Journey

In the latest episode of "Breakaway," I sit down with one of the most joyous, hard-working, and courageous athletes I've ever known: 2018 Winter Olympian and TPUSA Ambassador, Anthony Watson.

Anthony is the first-ever Olympian to represent Jamaica in the skeleton - easily one of the most daunting and intense events in the Winter Olympics.

What led to Anthony to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea was nothing short of heartwrenching.

For the first time ever, Anthony shares the details of his journey to the Olympics on TPUSA's Breakaway, where he was discriminated against, left behind on team trips, forced to pay his own way, and the harrowing intervention from his dad who helped save his life after Anthony contemplated suicide.
