This week we had the pleasure of chatting with one of Dom's good friends and training partners, Michael Khedoori, who is also one of Australia's up and coming Parkour superstars for the 'Becoming Dom Tomato Encore Episode'.

At only 18 years of age Khedoori is already bending the minds of millions of people around the world, with over 40,000 followers on Instagram and 2 million on TikTok you really meed to check out how impressive his athletic capabilities already are.

Now to close friends and family Dom might be known as 'Dominic Di Tomasso' but today, you get to find out how he became Dom Tomato (@DomTomato). This episode was indicative of Dom's personality from the get-go. We got to enjoy many laughs along the incredible journey of the once Junior Australian Figure Skating Champion, to the now international Parkour Superstar. Dom reveals a side of himself & Parkour that we did not know existed, with such patience, thought and planning going into his craft. We're sure this episode will turn heads in the general public to know that these guys aren't just adrenaline junkie dare devils, but concise, maybe with a teaspoon of crazy.. professional athletes.

If you haven't listened to one of our encore episodes before, you can think of them like a book club, but in this case, a podcast club, where we chat with some really impressive athletes in the community to help Kurt and I dig deeper into key topics from our Monday release episodes.

This week we had the pleasure of chatting with one of Australia's best female Powerlifters Jess Sewastenko (@sewastrong) for the 'Becoming Sonny Webster' encore episode.

If you're not familiar with Jess you should know now that she is a bit of a force to be reckoned with. Jess is a world record holder and is not only one of Australia's best female Powerlifters, but also one of Australia's best powerlifters across the board.

As an interesting pivot, and why we brought Jess on the podcast to chat with us today, is that around 6 months ago Jess began her journey into Olympic weightlifting and for a newcomer to the sport she has been hitting some hella impressive numbers.

But, Most importantly is Jess's mindset and we're excited for you to hear her input, from an elite athletes perspective, during our 'Becoming Sonny Webster Encore Episode'

If you haven't done so already, we'd highly recommend you listen to Sonny's story before you tune in to this episode.

Sonny Webster (@SonnyWebsterGB) is a British Olympian Weightlifter who competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics & owns the largest online lifting academy in the world - "The Sonny Webster Academy"

•••

Sonny Provides us with a realist, less than fairy tale story of his path to the Olympics. But a path nonetheless few get to tell. Forget the saying when one door closes another opens, Sonny believes to bust straight through doors not letting anything go to chance and he more than delivers on a wealth of stories to prove that if you want something, you can go for it and the doors will start opening.

Each piece of actionable advice in this episode will not only help your Olympic weightlifting or Crossfit performance, but anyone striving to build personal resilience and strength to start busting doors down.

After finishing the recording with Mel, we still had questions on our mind that we really wanted, to dig deeper into.

We love connecting with athletes in the community so this week we had the pleasure of sitting down with Australian Trampoline Gymnast - Leanne Van Rensburg.

To give you some context, Leanne first started her trampoline career when she was living New Zealand, herself and her family later moved to Australia and has now been representing Australia at international events for over 9 years. Leanne is also a member of the NSW high performance squad.

Our chat with Leanne was not only really insightful from a sporting perspective, but she was also courageous enough to share how she personally related with Melissa's becoming story and in particular some hard times that Mel spoke about during her episode.

As quote side note, we really believe that sports are all about building communities and supporting each other towards success, so with that being said really want to commend both Mel & Leanne for being as open as they were to share they stories with us. The good times and the hard times.

If you haven't done so already, we'd highly recommend you listen to the 'Becoming Melissa Wu' story before you tune into this episode.

Strap yourself in and enjoy the becoming Melissa wu Encore Episode with Leanne Van Rensburg.

Melissa Wu (@MelissaPaigeWu) is one of the best Olympic platform divers in the world. She caught the world's attention when she won her first Commonwealth Games silver medal at the age of 13 after only entering the sport of diving 3 years prior - 6 months of this period she had to halt training due to a fractured humerus (nothing funny about fracturing that bone).

Journey with us back into Mel's life before diving through to her preparation for her 4th Olympic Games as we learn the highs, lows, life lessons and actionable advice that has built her into the incredibly accomplished athlete that she is today.
