In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg has a wonderful conversation with one of the hottest prospects ever to see the world of Triathlon, Jake Birtwhistle.
 
Jake showed incredible class in his youth athletics, winning 11 Australian junior titles. At age 20 he finished 2nd in the Australian senior 10k road race championships.
 
And although running looked like it could be a career path, he chose Triathlon. And man was Triathlon a great decision. With podiums in the 2018 and 2019 world triathlon series overall, silver at the commonwealth games in 2018, World Series wins in Hamburg and Leeds, and the U23 World title at the age of 20.
 
He goes into the next Olympics as a strong contender for a medal.
 
In this episode, Jake discusses the importance of saying YES to opportunities and how saying yes to a roll-down spot for the Tasmanian athletic team when he was 14 ignited the fire to become the champion that he is.
 
Jack describes his journey, and how he operates day-to-day. He steps through some of his greatest achievements including the two world series wins and his Commonwealth Games silver medal and what he needs to do to win the Tokyo Olympics.
