Simon Ward, Be Battle Ready - The podcast for strength, resilience, and longevity

Coach Simon Gets Grilled by Beth


Listen Later

We’re flipping the script! In this special episode of the High Performance Human Podcast, Simon hands over the reins to co-host (and wife) Beth, who takes her first turn in the host's chair — and puts Simon firmly in the hot seat.

With zero preparation and no idea what’s coming, Simon fields Beth’s awkward, cheeky, and insightful questions. They dive into:

  • What it’s really like coaching your spouse
  • The challenge of balancing coach/athlete dynamics with a relationship
  • When a coach needs to hold an athlete back — not push them harder
  • Whether Simon ever secretly wants to fire his athletes
  • What race Beth should do next (and what she'd never do)
  • Could Beth ever beat Simon in a race?
  • The dream Beth-designed training camp (spoiler: there’s coffee, horses, and plenty of naps)
  • Plus… a few surprises, some laughs, and the birth of a new regular feature — Beth’s Awkward Question of the Week.
