Matt Richards is a double Olympic Champion and silver medallist in the pool, winning a historic back to back relay title and falling agonisingly short of individual gold in the 200m freestyle (2 hundredths of a second to be precise). And that won't be the end of it; LA28 is firmly in his sights.At the age of 23, he has achieved more than most will in their whole career. You would think as an Olympic gold medallist, the world opens up to, and in some ways it does. But as he describes, these are athletes surviving on tiny salaries, reliant on sponsorship and external funding, all competing for the same dollars. So Matt decided to do something about it. He's now not only an elite swimmer, but also a business owner looking to empower more athletes with the control over their revenue generating opportunities. I have put a link below to check out the platform. A special guy with a huge amount still to come. We loved this and I hope you do too. We're delighted to welcome Matt to the Business of Sport.Olympic Gold & The Reality Behind It:Winning gold in Tokyo at 18 and why it did not feel how he expected.The brutal 0.02 second Olympic silver in Paris and how he reset overnight.What actually changes after you become Olympic champion and how fast the buzz fades.The Money Behind Olympic Sport:£28,000 lottery funding and what swimmers really earn.Why most Team GB athletes make nothing outside sponsorship.The three month Olympic window to monetize success without harming performance.Building a Business While Chasing Gold:Launching Sponsor while competing at the highest level.Why athletes must see themselves as marketing assets.Balancing brand building, training, and the risk of distraction.Pressure, Process & The LA 2028 Target:Calling himself Olympic champion at eight years old.The Olympic Village chaos, illness, and racing through adversity.Turning silver into fuel as he targets individual gold in LA.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: Gemini SportsWe empower the most confident sports organisations on Earth https://geminisports.ai/SlateThe complete content creation platform for social teams https://slateteams.com/Seat UniqueDiscover your next premium experience  https://wgl.io/s10it7AND check out Sponza, Matt's business to revolutionise sponsorship for athletes & brands https://sponza.co.uk/

Eighteen months and a few hard days later, Cassandre Beaugrand joins Chasing the Burn for a reflective and transparent conversation on the biggest day in her career and the year that followed.

What does it take to win three Olympic gold medals — and grow up in the most successful water polo nation in history? In Episode 133 of the Waterpolo Expert Talk Podcast, we welcome Hungarian legend Gergely Kiss, three-time Olympic gold medalist, world champion, European champion, and part of one of the most dominant national teams in water polo history. Hungary is the most successful Olympic water polo nation ever, with nine gold medals — and Gergely Kiss grew up inside that tradition. In this conversation, he shares how history, culture, and national identity shape Hungarian water polo and why the Olympic dream starts at a very young age in Hungary. We talk about: – Why water polo is the oldest Olympic team sport – How Hungarian tradition creates championship mentality – What separated Kiss' golden generation from others – The mindset required to win consistently at the Olympic Games – Education, humility, and hard work as pillars of success – Differences between generations in elite sport – Why water polo struggles in Western Europe – Structural challenges in countries like Germany and France – The importance of swimming skills and youth development – How beach water polo could help grow the sport globally Gergely Kiss explains why his generation was built on humility, discipline, and academic excellence — with more than 35 university degrees among 21 Olympic players. He reflects on growing up in a post-communist Hungary, how adversity shaped character, and why modern generations face different motivational environments. Beyond medals, this episode is about culture, identity, and what it truly means to represent your country at the Olympic Games. If you are interested in elite mindset, Olympic performance, generational leadership, and the future of European water polo, this is a must-listen episode.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Olympic gold medalist Connor Fields to unpack the mental journey behind elite performance, resilience, and reinvention. Connor shares how he learned competing at a young age, and how his mindset evolved across three Olympic cycles—from disappointment in 2012 to standing on top of the podium in Rio in 2016. He opens up about the mental tools he relied on under extreme pressure, how he learned to reframe failure, and the self-awareness required to perform at your best when the stakes are highest. The conversation also dives into Connor's recovery and growth following his devastating crash at the 2021 Olympics, including how he uses his "Now What?" framework to turn setbacks into momentum—both in sport and in life. Now a speaker and coach, Connor shares practical insights for leaders, athletes, and high performers on building resilience, managing pressure, and training the mind even when physical preparation is already elite. You'll learn: How confidence and mindset evolve across different stages of a career What separates surviving pressure from performing under pressure Why self-awareness is a cornerstone of resilience and peak performance How to turn disappointment, failure, and setbacks into powerful comebacks One mindset habit every leader should adopt—on and off the field This episode is a masterclass in confidence, resilience, and choosing your response when life doesn't go as planned.     HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET SHOWNOTES FOR THIS EPISODE

Marie-José Pérec of France has cemented herself as one of the greatest athletes in Track & Field history. She is a 2x Olympic Champion and 2x World Champion over 400m. Her personal best of 48.25, set at the 1996 Olympics, made her the 3rd fastest women in history at that point. Additionally, not only was she the first athlete to ever defend their Olympic gold medal in the 400m after wins in 92 and 96, but she also completed the 200/400 double at the 1996 Games. But outside of sprint accolades, most people probably never realized she even competed in the 400mH, let alone was arguably a gold medal favorite at the 1995 World Championships.⁠--------------------------------------------Chapters:00:00 Intro01:36 400H/400 crossover talent03:40 Who is Marie-José Pérec?04:39 Pérec's 1989 400H Season05:23 Pérec's 1990-1994 Seasons06:20 1995 Return to 400H06:46 Landscape of 400H in 199507:30 Summer of 199508:40 Pérec versatility09:21 1995 World Champ Schedule10:35 Competition at 1995 World Champs11:26 The 400/400H Double13:27 Monaco 400H14:21 Post 1995 Career15:05 Pérec and McLaughlin-Levrone⁠--------------------------------------------

Julien Alfred is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100m, a World Indoor champion in the 60m, and the athlete who is rewriting history for St. Lucia on the biggest stages in track.On February 1st, 2026, Julien will return to The Armory in New York City to headline the women's 60m at the Millrose Games — the same track where she ran a meet record back in 2024 before going on to win world and Olympic gold.Our conversation with her isn't just about medals or times; it's about what comes after the breakthrough year and how you learn to carry success without letting it crush you.Julien opens up about navigating pressure, expectations, and loneliness at the top and about growing up fast in St. Lucia, leaving home to chase a dream in Jamaica, Texas, and beyond, and learning how to protect her mental health while still pushing her limits.We talk about trust — in her coach Edrick Floreal, in the process, and in herself — and why 2026 feels less about proving something to the world and more about rediscovering joy in the sport she loves.____________Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Julien Alfred | @julien.alfred on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

From early morning practices to Olympic podiums, we explore the dedication, science, and data that fuel their success.

In this episode, I sat down with Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas while I was in San Antonio for The Running Event, and it was such a fun, inspiring conversation. Gabby had an incredible 2024 season where she won gold in the 200 meters in Paris and was part of the gold medal 4×100 and 4×400 teams. She runs for New Balance, studied neurobiology at Harvard, and went on to earn her master's in public health, so we talk about how her academic background shapes the way she thinks about performance, health, and life beyond the track. We get into what it actually felt like to win that individual gold, how she handled the pressure of the Olympic Games, what she's learning in this phase of her career, and what she's dreaming about as she looks toward LA 2028. We also chat about her partnership with Amazfit, how she uses their watch in training and racing, and why this season has been so meaningful to her both on and off the track.

But what makes her story remarkable isn't just the gold medal, it's the simple habit that helped her win it: the power of a reset.At the Sydney Olympics, after a shaky high jump that threatened her entire heptathlon, Denise didn't spiral or cling to the mistake. She walked back to her room, reached for a different pair of shoes, slicked her hair back, and told herself: “You're not Denise anymore, you're Astrid.” With that small ritual, she shifted her identity, her energy, and her belief. It wasn't superstition, it was psychology. Long before researchers named it “enclothed cognition,” Denise was living it: what you put on the outside can transform what you feel on the inside.In this episode, we explore how Denise turned seven events into seven fresh starts, and how the same principle can help all of us recover faster, perform under pressure and move forward after setbacks. Together, we dig into:Why symbols and rituals help us reset after mistakesHow acceptance clears the mind and restores decision-makingThe alter-ego effect and why borrowing strength worksWhat resilience really looks like in the moments no one seesHow transitions, at work, at home, or in sport, shape our identityIf you've ever struggled to let go of a bad moment, wished for a clean slate, or needed a way to step into the next chapter with confidence, Denise's story has something powerful to teach.Listen to the full episode with Denise Lewis: https://pod.fo/e/2c05ac Hosted on Acast.

Crystal Gayle shares stories of her groundbreaking firsts—from platinum milestones to global tours—and how she carved her own path in country music in this GB classic.

Today’s episode's incredibly special. Not only is it the Season 20 premiere of Hurdle, but we're bringing you my conversation with the American Record Holder and Olympic Champion in the 100-meter hurdles, Masai Russell. Fresh off her win at Athlos in New York City, Russell joins us to peel back the curtain on the mindset that allowed her to make the U.S. Olympic team, emerge victorious on the world stage, and break records in the process. This conversation was filmed live at Nike’s New York headquarters in front of an incredible audience, many of whom were gearing up for the New York City Marathon. It’s a motivational pre-game for any big moment, whether we’re talking about sport—or beyond. In the episode, Masai is incredibly candid about the struggles she faced in her first professional year, the adversity she had to overcome, and the mental shift she made to change her entire career trajectory. She also shares why, in her mind, she never fails, and how that perspective helps her turn every setback into a blessing. I've also got a big announcement: Today, Hurdle joins iHeart Women's Sports Network! A massive milestone years in the making, thanks so much for being a part of this community and following along for the ride. IN THIS EPISODE The competitive fire Masai developed by growing up with older brothers. Why Masai made the surprising choice to follow her coach and transfer to the University of Kentucky. The essential self-belief required to succeed at an elite level. Her mindset in the starting blocks for the 100m hurdles. Why showing up for yourself, even on bad days, is crucial to building success. The adversity and mental challenges she faced during her first professional year. The daily journaling and self-talk practices that shape her mindset. Why her tough finish (4th place) at the World Championships was ultimately the best thing for her. Her advice for dealing with the pressure and expectations of social media fame. Her big goals: from buying a house at 24 to breaking the World Record and winning in Los Angeles in 2028. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On the power of belief:"I just told myself when I got out there on the line, whatever's going to happen is going to happen, and I think once I kind of let the my ego go and let what I thought I should be or what the expectations of what people put on to me, once I let all that go out the door, I just felt free." On why she never fails:"I'll never fail because it's always a lesson to turn me into what the world will see. And that's always my mindset." On her mindset in the starting blocks:"There's nothing more that's going to change or the outcome isn't going to change. Literally just show up and be, and whatever that outcome is going to be, that's just what it is, and you have to be okay with it." On her mental tools:"It's literally just about like what I feel in that moment at that time, at that day. It could be like, 'Go out there, kill it, lock in, zone out, be you!' ... or it could be just like whatever is literally on my heart and mind."

One of the major talking points to emerge from last weekend's TCS New York City Marathon was Eliud Kipchoge. Following the completion of his Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star journey, it felt like the end of an era for the 11-time Majors winner, 2-time Olympic Champion and former World Record holder. On this episode of Marathon Talk, we look back on Kipchoge's career—the highs and lows—and what we will do next. And one of the things he's suggested he'll be doing next is running a marathon on Antartica, so we're very fortunate to be also joined by a man who knows a thing or two about South Pole running, President of Marathon Tours & Travel, Jeff Adams joins us to tell us more about how the running tourism industry is booming now, and where he'll be taking runners to next. On this episode of Marathon Talk: 1:49 - Martin and Deena discuss all that went down at the TCS New York City Marathon 13:04 - We look back on the career of AbbottWMM Six Star finisher, Eliud Kipchoge 30:14 - We're joined by Jeff Adams, president and owner of Marathon Tours & Travel.

Growing up in a family of skiers to a legendary Minnesota high school ski coach, Erin Moening has "loved Nordic skiing right from the start." After capturing three top-5 finishes at the state meet, Moening continued her career at Northern Michigan. She worked as a wax tech at NMU at the end of her time under Sten Fjeldheim and developed a passion for coaching.After experiences as a coach/wax tech with the U.S. Ski Team and stints at Team Birkie and elsewhere, the full-time software engineer and coach is passionate about capitalizing on the cross-country ski energy pulsing through our country right now by providing resources for coaches and opportunities for athletes.At her website, MoeningTheTracks.com, she writes: American Nordic skiing is experiencing an all-time high. We now boast Olympic Champions, World Champions, World Cup Medalists, and Junior World Champions. On the World Cup circuit, American coaches and wax technicians are at the top of their fields, continually improving each year. However, few in the U.S. possess this level of expertise and experience.With actual World Cup coaching and waxing experience being rare, it's incredibly difficult to gain elite coaching opportunities in the U.S.. Resources are limited, and finding high-quality ones is even more challenging. My goal with MoeningTheTracks (pronounced Man-ning) is to promote a culture of information sharing and knowledge transfer in the ski community, specifically in the Midwest. On today's show, we chatted about her recent coaching conference, meeting athletes where they're at, the intersection of club/high school ski competition, trends in the sport at various competitive levels, father-daughter athlete dynamics and more. Plus, we gave Erin a chance to share some of her own World Cup hot takes for the 2025-2026 year.Visit MoeningTheTracks.comBearskin Lodge coaching conference - March 20-22The Seder-Skier is an EnjoyWinter ambassador.

Emily first discovered rowing through the British Indoor Rowing Championships at the age of 12. After winning a silver medal she decided to go to her local rowing club, Bewl Bridge Rowing Club, and almost immediately set her sights on competing at the Olympics one day. Emily first represented GB at the U23 World Championships in 2013 whilst studying History of Art, winning bronze in the lightweight quadruple sculls. After completing a Masters in East Asian Art in 2015, Emily joined the senior GB Rowing Team full time. She made her Olympic debut at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Games in the lightweight women's double sculls, setting a World Best Time in the heats but missing the podium in an agonising 0.01 second photo finish, the picture of which has been on her wall as a driving force ever since. Already a three times World Champion and two times European Champion, Emily became Olympic Champion at Paris 2024, in the Lightweight Women's double sculls with Imogen Grant. I am extremely excited to share this conversation with the world and so grateful to Emily for giving me her time to share these phenomenal insights into her Olympic amd every day mindset.
