Welcome to La Trobe University’s Clever Conversations.
This episode, from our Bold Thinking Series, explores the fascinating topic of physical performance in sport.
In this one-hour debate you’ll hear from four of Victoria’s most influential voices in sport and sports science. They'll question how much further athletes can push their limits and ask if they can keep breaking records.
La Trobe’s Dr Peter Brukner, a former doctor of the Australian Cricket team, reveals that getting that physical edge is, apparently, all in the mind.
He’s joined by Paralympic gold medallist Kelly Cartwright, who talks about her drive to break the Long Jump record at the London Olympics.
La Trobe’s Dr Susan Mayes, a world-renowned expert in physiotherapy, says injured athletes can bounce back even stronger.
While former athlete, Dr Bridie O’Donnell, shares the power of resilience in body and mindset.
This panel conversation is facilitated by Francis Leach.
