Britain’s superstar breaststroke swimmer Adam Peaty has revealed that a newfound faith in God helped him overcome alcohol misuse. He has started going to church every Sunday and said, ‘It’s about being a better person. Not only a better athlete and fulfilling my gift, but also being a better dad for George. There are so many other reasons. It gets quite deep. But it’s great to be a part of.’ After surgery for a foot injury and then struggling with his mental health, he reached out to the Olympic chaplain Ashley Null.
