Today both myself and co-host of the Triathlon Sideline Chat Jenna-Caer Seefried have the exciting opportunity to interview the legendary Chris McCormack! So to quickly highlight Macca’s accolades, he is known as one of endurance sport’s most iconic athletes. Globally regarded as the best triathlete of his generation, Macca rose through the ranks delivering wins in 250 international races and landing on the podium 89% of the time. Macca owns one of the best athletic winning percentage statistics in modern sport, including a win streak of 35 races straight! He’s the only male to win the World Championships across all distances of triathlon and aside from racing accolades he is also the most financially successful triathlete in the world. Being the CEO of Bahrain Endurance13 and the Super League Triathlon; he has been an integral part in shaping the future of the sport as well as bringing the sport to where it is today. After some incredible showdowns at last couple of weeks between Mainova European Championships at IRONMAN Frankfurt and Challenge Roth; we sit down with Chris to get his insight and thoughts on these races and hear about some of the stories that shaped these two races into what they are today! Now we also dive into a lot about the Super League Triathlon Series, Bahrain Endurance 13 Team, and MX Endurance Team; all in which Chris played such an integral role in creating so get ready for a truly incredible and inspirational episode!

On this episode of the active CEO Podcast, Craig Johns speaks with four-time World Triathlon Champion, Chris McCormack about ceo performance; growing up in Sydney; lessons learnt in triathlon and business; balancing patience with commercial decisions; winning on a world stage; and transitioning from sportsperson to businessperson. We also delve into what makes a high performance CEO; thinking anything is possible; and his successful team approach that has led to IRONMAN Hawaii World Championship titles as well as leading MaccaX, MaccaNow, Thanyapura, Bahrain Endurance 13, Super League Triathlon and MINC Group.

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my new friend Brent McMahon. Brent has been in the sport for more than 22 years. I have talked with a great amount of people on the podcast so far but none have had the experience that Brent has under his belt. There are only a handful of athletes in the world that can say they have been to the Olympics and received a medal and also competed in the IRONMAN© World Championship on the big island. Brent has been working with his coach Lance Watson for his athletic career. According to Lance’s website, [Lance] is “one of the most successful coaching track records in age group triathlon, internationally.” The race that we discuss is obvious but the challenges he faces and overcomes along the way are tremendous. Many athletes face hard and sometimes gut wrenching choices along their racing journey and this is no different for Brent. While we talk and discuss his race, I cannot help but to see his overwhelming gratitude for the ability to participate in the sport and how he enjoys the process of self-discovery along the way. Thank you so much Brent for spending time with me and I truly am honored to have you on my show. I look forward to having you back on my show again in the future and following you along your career. I wish you the best.Lance Watson: https://lifesportcoaching.com/coaching.php Brent McMahon: http://brentmcmahon.com/ -Enjoy the show.
