This week, we are unveiling judokan couple and Commonwealth Games medalists Moira de Villiers and Jason Kosta. Moira and Jason joined us on the podcast to discuss what life as Olympic level athletes/competitors looks like; what it demands of your body, spirit and mind, and how it can take its toll.
We also spoke about the intricacies and practicality of judo as a martial art, and the positive impact of becoming parents during their competitive journeys. Finally, we spoke about how their reliance on each other as partner-coaches has added an intriguing, yet rewarding element to their relationship.
Ambitious by nature, Moira and Jason provided some wonderful insight into harnessing that drive for success to ensure it leads you towards your goals, whilst doing your best to avoid burnout and disappointment.
It was a pleasure speaking to them!
