Summary

Erik sits down with Real Madrid and Welsh football superstar Gareth Bale. Gareth shares an insight into what it was like turning his childhood dream into a reality of becoming a professional footballer and life in the spotlight in Spain, playing for one of the biggest football clubs in the world, Real Madrid. Gareth talks about how golf is the ultimate escape for him and how his addiction for the game has grown and grown, so much so that he has replicated three iconic par 3's in his backyard in Wales. When not on the world stage, playing inside football stadiums all across the globe, Gareth can be found either on the golf course, or spending time with his family.
