Hamish Kerr has claimed another title. The Olympic gold medallist has been awarded Sportsman of the Year at the Halberg Awards. The high jumper beat out some tough competition for the title, including two other gold medallists Finn Butcher and Hayden Wilde. Kerr told Mike Hosking that it was cool to see not only New Zealand Olympians at the event, but also crickets, and footballers. “Such an amazing range of sports, all represented.” He believes that sport unites the country, saying that the attitude Kiwis took towards the Olympics was really felt overseas. “I felt proud to be a Kiwi out there, you know, watching all my fellow competitors or compatriots compete – it was so special.” A lot of people are still connected to sport, and athletics in particular, and he thinks the athletics success in Paris has started to bring people back into it. “I've done a couple of comps since, just domestically, and you know, just the reaction from the people coming down wanting to meet not only me, but all the other Olympians has been, has been so, so cool to see.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Leaders Getting Coffee episode 35, our guest is Olympic High Jump champion, Hamish Kerr. He describes himself as too tall for a runner. So it was just as well that a young Hamish Kerr scuttled down to the High Jump enclosure after his 800 metre race ended. There he found a natural ability and reduced competition; a combination that saw him develop a passion for this highly technical event at a remarkably young age. Hamish Kerr’s is the classic Kiwi story. After winning the NZ Secondary Schools title for Auckland Grammar School, he headed off to Massey University and forgot about athletics for a couple of years. But the passion still burned, and an opportunity to attend the World University Games rekindled a love affair with the sport through which he would become a world an Olympic champion. With his degree completed, he moved to Christchurch to follow the coaching and worked part time in a hardware store while he worked on the physical and mental techniques that would make him successful. On the Leaders Getting Coffee podcast, Bruce Cotterill talks to Hamish about his gradual journey to the top of the Olympic podium, a journey that now includes Commonwealth Games and World Indoor titles alongside his Olympic triumph. And he takes us step by step through that agonising Olympic qualifying session which saw him almost leave the competition prematurely, and a finals day filled with the drama that can only be delivered by an energy sapping one on one jump off for the gold medal. And he’s not finished yet. Hamish Kerr has an aspirational message for our future leaders and an agenda that will see him attempt to defend his title in Los Angeles in 2028.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hamish Kerr is officially the greatest High Jumper in the world having recently won Gold at the Paris Olympics. However, what you're about to hear in this episode is an insight into the mind of the Olympic champion and you'll be amazed at how close he came to bowing out in the Qualifiers which in his mind would have meant retirement. The pressure that come on one single jump is insane and when you need to be relaxed and in flow when jumping how you handle that pressure is the difference.Some other cool parts of this episode that should out for me was..Growing up playing lot's of sports, playing on the wing in rugbyHow at the age of 11 he was arguably faster than Rieko IoaneHis journey into High Jump and why he quit after schoolAn insight in to the training schedule of an individual athleteHow important your mindset in as a world class athleteWhy he wasn't keen to settle on the split gold medalWhat made him take off to the middle of the Javelin field once he had won the goldAnd heaps more!As you'll hear Hamish is a very smart, open and honest man who gives so much gold (excuse the pun) in this episode.

If at first you don't succeed, try again. A common sentiment, but particularly relevant for athletes, and one Hamish Kerr is familiar with. The Olympic high jump gold medallist told Mike Hosking that his first attempt at the Fosbury flop left him with a bloody nose, as he hit his nose against his knee on the way over. Kerr's come a long way since that first jump, and now his goal is to leap 2.4 meters – four centimetres higher than his medal winning 2.36 meters. “For me it's just about getting stronger and faster and that's something we really worked on this year,” he told Hosking. “Probably the most we've done of that in my whole career, and that's, that's why I've done so well.” The world record is 2.45 meters, and if he continues the way he does, Kerr thinks the goal is within reach. “If I have another four years of that, then there's no reason why I wouldn't be getting better.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best Olympics ever. Sadly it wasn't in our timezone, which doesn't help the communal buzz of a nation gathered together. But we won more golds and, in my book, that is really what the Olympics is about. They have tried to make it about new, weird sports and participation, but for the purest it is about being the best. That's why you sacrifice and give up your life for singular moments that make it all worthwhile. I have decided that gold is disproportionate to silver and bronze. It's not a step up - it's several steps. I have also decided, as shown through the tears of Lydia Ko, that although there are sports you could argue don't really belong at the Olympics, even for the most elite of athletes used to winning regularly elsewhere on a global stage, representing your country clearly still counts for a lot. Then you get to the weird business of human nature. As remarkable as Lisa Carrington is, the trouble with being a recidivist winner is you are expected to simply carry on. That's why being number one at anything is relentless and largely thankless, because it's expected. Which is why the Hamish Kerr gold is the one you remember, because it wasn't expected. Was he a prospect? Yes. Was he going to win it all? I didn't hear anyone say that. But what about gold in the canoe slalom? It's an odd, invented sport with no small measure of luck. So does an invented sport gold beat a classic high jump gold? Not in my book. But here is the real gold on the gold - we don't historically win a lot of them. It was seven last time and that was an outlier. We won eight in Los Angeles a long time ago. But apart from those two, most games produce one or two or three at most. Ten golds is a couple of weeks to remember and reminds us that for a country of five million, there are an outsized group of people who strive, work and are determined to live a dream and be the very best of the best. And for all their stories, we can be grateful for the joy they bring.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
