16. Interview with Crossfit Games athlete Jamie Simmonds


Listen Later

In this week’s podcast, I talked to Crossfit Games athlete and former Crossfit Open Winner, Jamie Simmonds. 

As an elite athlete in one of the most gruelling and intense sports, Jamie knows a thing or two about high performance! 

In 2016 she took the Crossfit world by storm winning the Crossfit Open as a relatively new athlete in the sport. Since then she has competed at the Crossfit Games four times as an individual and once as a team, placing third twice and never finishing outside the top 12.

This is a powerful episode and we dive into: 

  • How her competitive gymnastics and rugby playing childhood lead her to Crossfit 
  • How her moved to Abu Dhabi shaped her view of the world and taught her valuable lessons about herself and the cultures around her
  • What intense homesickness taught her about people and sport 
  • What it means to turn on and off your athlete mindset in training and competitions. 
  • How she coped mentally and physically after a shoulder injury forced her out of the 2021 season 
  • The importance of self-reflection in competition 
  • How she balances work, training and life! 
  • How she deals with pressure - both the pressure she puts on herself and the pressure from those around her 
  • What her plan for the 2022 season looks like 
  • What a champion’s mindset means for Jamie
  • AND SO MUCH MORE! 

This is an incredible episode with key takeaways not only for sport and performance but life and connection!
