Multisport legend Steve Gurney says he had to go through a really tough period after having to hang up his kayak. 

The 9 time winner of the Coast to Coast was this week's guest for Six and a Song. 

Along with claiming the record for the most wins, he's now a motivational speaker and inventor. 

He told Simon and Phil when he had to leave racing due to injury, he went through a really tough patch. 

He says he got through focusing on the simple things in life which makes him most happiest.
