COVID19 and how the pros are coping * Simon Ward and Elliot Smales, Sam Dickinson, and Helen and Marc Jenkins


Listen Later

In this week’s podcast, I have asked some of my pro-athlete contacts to share their thoughts on the current situation. In particular, I wanted to know:

  • How they have adapted their training given the current restrictions to group sessions and facilities
  • Their mental approach to having no races in the calendar for the immediate future
  • What financial challenges they face now that they have no opportunity to win prize money
  • My 3 guests include two returning guests who are based in Leeds:  Rising star of the 70.3 world, Elliot Smales, high performance athlete Sam Dickinson, and also two new guests to this show!  An Olympian, twice former World Champion, and now mother of two, Helen Jenkins along with husband and coach also an ex pro and Olympian, Marc Jenkins.  These are 3 very candid and open conversations where we chat about:

    • Getting some perspective on life
  • Swim training without a pool - what the pros do
  • To ride outdoors or not
  • Coping without group training
  • The mental aspect of being a racer and having no races
  • How PTO is helping athletes
  • If you would like to join SWAT but finances are challenged right now or will be in the near future, please reach out to us by email and we will find a way to try and help, [email protected].
