GOLDEN SECRETS of BUILDING CURIOSITY and FACING COMPETITION to CLEAR HURDLES with Sharon Hannan, an Olympic Gold Medal Winning Coach

Alloutcoach Tim

A lifelong fan of the Olympics, I recently interviewed Sharon Hannan, an Olympic Gold Medal winning coach in 100 m hurdles and Australian athletics veteran who had coached Sally Pearson to victory at the 2012 games in London. Listen to this truly personal conversation to learn Sharon's scientific approach to building curiosity, drive, confidence through small steps, innovative methods, and successes to winning in sports, business and life. 2:14 How did you get interested in Track and Field? 3:30 How did you become a coach that would train a champion to a gold medal in the Olympics? 6:04 Do you think you were always perceptive of other people and there was a coach in you that manifested later in life? 7:45 What is the role of curiosity and not being an athlete in your success? 8:52 One of the most impactful books I have ever read was Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston who had to cut off his arm to survive. She read the book over and over again to learn about how he faced adversity by the processes he implemented. 9:44 How did you help her overcome adversity? 10:35 Sally Pearson had a navicular stress fracture and Sharon found an innovative way to coach her through it 11:38 She thought "this girl lived on speed which was part of her DNA" so Sharon started to train her with racewalking so that she would feel speed without the impact of sprinting or hurdling not to exacerbate her injury or slow does its healing 12:41 What impact did race-walking have on Sally Pearson's results? 13:33 What were the turning points in your career that allowed you to develop confidence as a coach? 16:20 Sprinting in the pool was another method Sharon had used before with another athlete before Sally Pearson. The athlete keeps their body upright with the head above water and sprints using the arms. Usually, athletes cover 100 meters in 50 strides in about 12-13 seconds, while in the pool they cover 50 strides in 6-7 seconds. 18:20 What was the inspiration behind the technique of racing in the pool? 20:59 Who are the members of the integral team that helped you and your athletes become successful? 21:46 One of the first sports scientists Sharon met was a biomechanist. 22:48 If Sharon had an injured athlete she made it her rule/job and accompanied them to the physical therapist to learn how the injury might have happened. 26:31 What role did teamwork play in the athletes Sharon coached who primarily competed in individual events? 27:00 If you want to be the best you have to train with the best, which may include competitors or your competitors' coaches. The one area in which track and field lags behind is the tendency to avoid competitors or competitors' coaches in training. 28:14 What is the secret ingredient to reaching the pinnacle of competition - the Olympics, and performing at the highest level? 29:29 Secret ingredient - self-drive, small steps, success. My role is to plant the seeds to make incremental progress. 34:07 Your relationship with Sally ultimately ended as you parted ways. What are some lessons you have to maintain relationships with athletes, manage conflict in order to result in the best outcomes? 37:42 How did you recover after parting ways with Sally to continue to coach and leave a legacy among other athletes and coaches? 40:50 Did you find yourself a coach that challenged her athletes more than others would dare? 41:42 Famous in Australia for one rule: if an athlete fall-starts during training their training session is over. Sharon has lost several athletes who did not have the patience for this rule. However, on the contrary, Sharon has had extensive conversations with athletes about their long-term future and their personal lives or plans with their girlfriends/boyfriends. 46:32 Did your daughter continue on her path to becoming a track and field athlete? 54:22 Final message from Sharon

In episode seven of Remember The Name and in an Australian Open special, we chat with Australian tennis star Kim Birrell.  After starting her career on fire and being selected for the Fed Cup team as a teenager, Birrell has struggled with an elbow injury for much of her career.  She became a household name after reaching the third round of the 2019 Australian Open and beating the seeded Donna Vekic.  However, she is now sidelined again with an elbow injury and has been forced to think about her future as she attempts to comeback yet again.  We spoke with Birrell about how she was determined not to let this latest injury stop her, the amazing reception she received during that Australian Open run and plenty more.  For more tennis and Australian Open content, head over to www.sportingnews.com/au  00:02:09 - Being born in Germany, moving to Australia  00:04:10 - Favourite surfaces to play tennis on  00:05:15 - Other sports growing up in Queensland  00:06:00 - First time picking up a tennis racquet  00:07;09 - A childhood dominated by tennis  00:09:00 - The turn to competitive tennis  00:10:50 - Balancing tennis and school  00:12:40 - How would teachers describe you at school?  00:14:40 - Making Junior ITF debut at the age of 13  00:16:10 - The importance of Junior Grand Slam tournaments  00:18:40 - Making a junior Grand Slam semifinal at home  00:20:10 - Are Aussie fans in the crowd distracting?  00:22:40 - Tennis idols growing up  00:24:05 - Making WTA debut in 2016 at home  00:25:40 - Difference of starting the season at home  00:26:40 - Making her Fed Cup debut in 2016 as a teenager  00:29:10 - Difference of playing for Australia than individually  00:31:10 - The 2019 Fed Cup Final in Perth vs France  00:32:50 - The breakthrough year of 2019  00:35:40 - What gets her through the tough points in a match  00:37:10 - Dealing with the attention of her 2019 Australian Open run  00:40:10 - Playing on Rod Laver Arena at the Australian Open  00:42:30 - Getting surprised by her idol Sally Pearson  00:46:10 - Current elbow injury and timeline for tennis return  00:49:50 - Protected ranking and working back up the rankings ladder  00:52:10 - Ever any doubts of making her return?  00:56:25 - Potential for coaching post-tennis career  00:58:00 - Going to Melbourne to watch the young up and coming Aussie women  01:00:20 - Looking toward future after tennis and a media career?  01:01:30 - Sample analysis of Inglis v Bouchard  01:02:55 - Smoke in Melbourne and playing tennis in Australia  01:04:50 - Proudest moment of her career  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  Subscribe to SN's YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2BQiI7p  Catch up with Sporting News Australia on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2zHopmO  Follow @SportingNewsAU on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2FST99M  Like Sporting News Australia on Facebook: https://bit.ly/2KRB4rB  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Tim and Sean are back for another riveting episode of Down the Track. The in-studio guest is Maxine Paholek, back in Australia on break from Boise State University where as a Freshman she established herself as a key member of the Bronco’s NCAA Cross Country and Track squads. Maxine provides great insight into her experience so far in the NCAA system, and adapting to life in general as a US College student. With some great performances over the cross country season then recording a substantial PB in her specialist track event the 3000m Steeple, Maxine talks us through how she approached each season and the usual highs and lows along the way. In international news the Australian performances in Europe continue with Ninove (Belgium) and Bern (Switzerland) playing hos to a number of Australians including Ryan & Genevieve Gregson, Michelle Jenneke, James Hansen and Nick Hough. Heidi See popped out a 4:33 mile in the USA, while Georgia Winkcup continued her strong progression in the steeple with a World Championship qualifier in Birmingham. Domestically we had the Australian Half Marathon Championship on the Sunshine Coast with Lisa Weightman highlighting the stellar field to collect a $25,000 bonus by running the fastest Half Marathon on Australian soil. An unfortunate directional error by the officials lead to Jack Rayner being DQ’d, allowing Kevin Batt to claim the Australian title. The world’s biggest timed fun run, Sydney’s City to Surf, saw Victorian based Harry Summers almost claim Steve Moneghetti’s long standing race record, falling just 2sec shy of the mark. South Australian Tara Palm continued on from her impressive Run at Adelaide’s Fitzy’s 5 to claim the women’s title in the Harbour City. Athletics Victoria’s General Manager of Sport Delivery, Ross Cunningham, joins the Podcast to talk about the upcoming Summer season. With some new initiatives, including the introduction of the Athletics Victoria Shield League, Ross details what participants can expect from the new season. With Sally Pearson announcing her retirement, the team examine her legacy to the sport and potential gaps that may now appear within the Australian team environment at the major championships. In a recurring hot topic, more issues have been raised about Nike shoe technology, this time the spikes used by Sifan Hassan to break the World Mile record. With the Australian Cross Country Championship not far away, Sean and Tim review the main contenders based on who they believe to be running and assess Victoria’s chances to win the women’s and men’s team titles. The world of athletics never stops!

Despite all their success, Australia’s female sports stars receive little recognition. But why is this? After all while our men have been struggling recently Aussie women have dominating and achieving global success in a variety of sports. There's our Olympians, Sally Pearson and Anna Meares who won gold at the London Olympics, 4-time world surf champion Steph Gilmore, Tennis superstar Sam Stosur as well as the women who just won the cricket world cup. Last month at the Asia-Pacific World Sport and Women Conference, Sports Minister Kate Lundy addressed gender inequality in the sporting world saying Australian female athletes are competing against men who have hundreds of years of history on their side. However, it seems things are slowly changing. For instance, in 2008 national competitions for woman’s soccer and netball were launched. But while women's sports are drastically improving, there is still a long way to go, especially in regards to media coverage. Ask people about women and sports and you will get hundreds of responses. 2sers Joel Moss reports
