In this episode of the DentalFit Podcast, we sit down with Jacob Despard - Olympic sprinter, Stawell Gift champion, and Commonwealth Games finalist.

Jacob shares his journey from grassroots athletics in Tasmania to the world’s biggest tracks. We talk about his experiences at the Commonwealth Games and the Paris Olympics, and the mindset required to perform under pressure. He opens up about the setbacks that shaped him, the pursuit of consistency in a sport defined by milliseconds, and the role recovery, breathing, and oral health play in staying race-ready.

It’s a focused look at the discipline, resilience, and precision behind elite sprinting.
