What does it take to compete at a national level and chase a spot on the world stage?

“It’s not just strength, it’s years of technique that make the difference.”

In this episode of The Nest Effect, Antoine Vidal sits down with rising discus athlete Jamieson Pooles as he prepares for Nationals in Brisbane. With just days to go, Jamieson shares the mindset, discipline, and dedication required to perform when it matters most.

From humble beginnings at a school sports carnival to competing for a chance to represent Australia internationally, Jamieson opens up about the sacrifices, setbacks, and lessons learned along the way.

He dives into the technical side of discus, the importance of patience in mastering technique, and the mental strength required to bounce back from adversity, including competing overseas while seriously ill.

This is a powerful conversation about resilience, growth, and enjoying the journey whether you’re an athlete, business owner, or simply chasing your own goals.
