In Episode 1 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by Australian Olympic/Commonwealth Games middle distance runner Luke Mathews.  Luke and I were school mates growing up and I therefore have several fond memories of his utter domination as a junior athlete.  We discussed his athletic career to date, future plans, mindset and the learnings from his 2016 Rio Olympics performance where he competed at the age of 21.  In addition, we touched on his best memories from the 2018 Commonwealth Games in which he achieved a Bronze Medal. The mindset of an elite athlete such as Luke is fascinating and I hope anyone that listens get's something out of his story.  Socials  Luke Mathews - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ The Steak Lad - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Watch This Episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtu.be/T47uegZcV0I Contact Email - thesteaklad@gmail.com Linktree - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesteaklad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
