In our first ever live episode, Ben Ainslie and Hannah Mills joined Georgie for a Performance People special in collaboration with Ned Talks, recorded in The Parlour room at The Ned in central London.

The panel looked back at the America's Cup in Barcelona last year, ahead to this year's Sail GP season and revealed a few of the performance secrets that have racked up six Olympic gold medals between them, including how they handle nerves, how they juggle the single-mindedness of sport with family life and what they prioritise most when they really need to perform.

Georgie also explained the story behind ainslie + ainslie, the performance supplement company she has co-founded with Ben, and for which Hannah is an ambassador; taking the thinking from the human performance experts in Ben’s sailing team to develop NIGHT POWDER, a product which makes an elite sport approach to recovery available for everyone.
