Perfectly Flawed

In this episode, I am joined by Off The Blocks Swimming Podcast host Robby Cox. This episode is a little different from other episodes as it is more of a collaboration and 2 podcasts coming together. We each talk about why we started our respective podcasts. We also discuss the things we have learnt from our guests and just podcasting in general. It was a great opportunity for me to chat to a more established podcast and exciting to know the potential of Perfectly Flawed. Robby and I share how grateful we are to have the opportunity to share athletes' stories and share out ultimate guests that we would love to chat to. We did have a few tech difficulties which the magic of editing was able to disguise most of. This episode is a great chat between Robby and myself so make sure you have a listen and check out his podcast too!

In this episode, I am joined by Amy Bahn and Eloise Thompson. This episode is in light of Deakins wellness week where the 3 of us answer some common questions. We discuss things ranging from lockdown motivation, meaningful connection, being a supportive friend, embarrassing sport story and our Deakin sports highlight. This is episode is long, but I think it’s definitely worth while listening. We do dissect some serious topics, but we also have a few laughs too. Sometimes you can hear some feedback in the audio so apologies for that, I’ve done my best with editing magic. This episode is a great chat between Amy, Eloise and myself so make sure you have a listen, I had so much fun recording with them!

In this episode, I am joined by Todd Jarratt. Todd is a mental performance coach where he reconditions the subconscious mind. Todd shared what it is he does and what led him into this line of work. He talks about his background in sport and exercise science and his passion for helping athletes and everyone in between achieve their goals. Todd sheds light on the impact that our subconscious minds have on our performance that most of us, including myself, don’t even realise is happening. There is so much valuable information in this chat that I believe we can all learn from. Todd loves a chat so if you love this episode and want to know more let me know so we can do a part 2!

He describes how it started from a young age and is mainly performance-based. As his career in AFL started to take off his anxiety only got worse, and he was in survival mode every day.

He had a tough start to life with his cerebral palsy making him feel different from everybody else. He has a lot of experience in both soccer and athletics as sport has been a large part of his life. James opens up about even after Rio, coming home with a gold medal and a world record still left him feeling like he wasn’t enough and the lowest he had ever felt. He shares his journey with mental health and the strategies he has learnt along the way. James was great to talk to, and it made our conversation flow so well.
