Scoreboard

In this wide-ranging debut podcast, Emily Whelan (first ever podcast appearance) talks to Chris Titley about the technical craft and human side of being an elite high jumper. Emily traces a 15-year journey from Little Athletics in Mount Isa to training on the Central Coast, balancing a demanding university degree in medical engineering, and — this year — breaking through the 1.90m barrier and earning her first senior national team selection at the World Championships. Along the way she shares how she trains, recovers, prepares mentally for the big moment and builds the brand and support needed to chase an Olympic dream.
