The Olympics conjure the image of single-mindedness, of an athlete's individual effort to improve, culminating in a medal whose ribbon only fits one. However, the Olympic pursuit is anything but. The reality is that those lofty goals are reached from atop a mountain of support and accomplishment from family, both blood and chosen. From the front stoop to the podium step, gold at the Games is a decidedly family affair. Hear how canoe slalom contender Jess Fox and her nine “paddling” family members stay afloat in all their trophies. Listen to how marrying a fellow high jumper has allowed Ty Butts and Roderick Townsend to raise the bar. Get insight into Olympic support systems and pressures from experts Tim Layden and Mike Gervais. Ahmed Fareed tells the story, and incredible history, of the Montano Fencing Dynasty. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium.

Mental game: two words that are as often used as they are hard to grasp. But when the stakes are highest, when all competitors have sharpened their skills and trained tirelessly, psychology may be the deciding factor-both in and out of sports. Get a glimpse inside diver David Boudia's intricate pre-performance routine, hear from Dr. Mike Gervais (from the Finding Mastery Podcast) how mental training separates good athletes from great ones and understand how these skills apply to adversity and success well beyond the Olympic Games. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium. Episode 3 features David Boudia, Dr. Mike Gervais, Tim Layden and Mary Carillo.

Every Olympics has pushed the boundaries of sports technology, but the Tokyo games will see that constant multiplied by Japan's penchant for tech. Feel how optimizing every single shape and surface propels cyclists to new speeds with Alex Howes, hear how equipment changes do more than improve performance for Tatyana McFadden, understand how old sports are improving with modern tools and go inside the broadcasting magic that transports viewers from their couch right into the action. Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports' The Podium. Episode 2 features Alex Howes, Tatyana McFadden, Kelsey-Lee and Mike Barber, Karl Malone, David Mazza, Tim Layden and Ahmed Fareed

The Olympic Torch's potential to inspire in times of chaos only deepens its power in the extraordinary leadup to Tokyo 2020. We start a brand new season of The Podium grasping the power of the flame. Relive Janet Evans' triumphant 1996 torch relay with Muhammad Ali, hear a first-hand account of Catriona LeMay-Doan's very public cauldron malfunction and discover how a clown saved a closing ceremony.

The Washington Football Team is on their bye week, but the Cult of Colt charges on in this super spooky weekly edition. It seems only right to take a step back and get to know each other a little bit better (well, allow you to get to know us a little bit better.) In addition to our fan favorite (and ours if we’re being completely honest) “What You Sippin’ On?” we play everyone’s favorite first day of class ice-breaker: two truths and a lie. Gumbi seemingly has avoided several life-threatening catastrophes, while I have a few near-misses of my own. Because it’s a football-free, or WFT-free Halloweekend, we chat about Gumbi’s best-loved holiday, and have a rapid-fire back-and-forth on our spooky favorites: Halloween candy, movies, and best haunts for spooks and frights. Gumbi also has a very funny Halloween-related Michael Wilbon/ WFT cross-over story. Eventually, yes, we do talk about football and the WFT’s shocking and dominating win over the rival Dallas Cowboys last week. We give props where they’re due: the Washington defense has met, if not exceeded expectations this season but have some tough sledding ahead of them with the season-ending injury to Landon Collins. We do a deep dive on Jon Bostic’s bone-rattling hit on Andy Dalton, and reflect on the rules changes for defenders in the NFL and how that has impacted the game over the last 20 season. To that end, highly recommend this 2007 piece from Sports Illustrated’s Tim Layden who breaks down the anatomy of “The Big Hit.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Then we touch briefly on horse racing and the Olympics before we wrap it up with some trivia.

Steve Delsohn, Founder and President of Delsohn Strategies Public Relations firm and former Investigative Reporter for ESPN's Outside the Lines joins us on the Work in Sports Podcast!Hey It's Brian --- today on the WorkinSports podcast Steve Delsohn former investigative reporter for ESPN's Outside the Lines and current owner operator of a sports PR firm representing clients all across the sports landscape… but before Steve, let's talk about the Work in Sports Academy.Everyone listening to this show is trying to learn things that will help them in their sports career, right? Maybe you're looking for that first job, maybe you dream of getting hired by ESPN like Steve, or maybe you're in college trying to find your way through the sports career options. Well, we've created a series of online courses that will teach you the strategies and tactics necessary to get hired in sports. You don't want to just blend in with a bunch of other resumes applying for jobs, you want to stand out, and our courses are there to help. Extremely affordable, each course is just $39 or you can buy all four courses for a massive cost savings. Check it out today - WorkinSports.com/gameplan Alright let's start the countdown...  Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp Vice President of Content and Engaged learning at WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast…When I first started in the sports industry back in 1996 as a production assistant at CNN/Sports Illustrated, I was a sports fan. I loved watching games, debating players, arguing strategies and playing as often as I could in my spare time.Sure, I had some skills for the job or else I wouldn't have been hired, I could edit video and audio, operate a camera and things of that nature. But I lived for the events.I grew up with a subscription to Sports Illustrated, and while my grandmother, who got me the yearly subscription, thought I was really engaging with all the longform storytelling, truth is I was lazy. I'd read the opening 20 pages of short stories based on what happened with the teams I know and loved… and then when it came to the langer articles with meaning, from Frank Deford, Leigh Montville, Tim Layden and Sally Jenkins… I'd skip through and look at the pictures.It wasn't until March 14th, 2000 -- four years into my career at CNN Sports Illustrated that I truly grasped the power of journalism, reporting and storytelling.Our investigative reporting team toiled for months and month on a story about Bob Knight, the bombastic coach of Indiana University. A man feared for his temper tantrums, but admired for his winning. He was a God to many in Indiana, but not everyone. I won't rehash the story - I can link to some old articles if you arte interested in reading more - but suffice it to say our reporters blew open a monumental story into events that happened behind the scenes of his empire that would have made your head spin. I'll tell you, as someone who had nothing to do with the story, but had access to the reporting, there were dozens of horrifying stories that didn't make the final cut….and that final cut was still a full 30 minute story that left people with their jaw dropped.Bobby Knight was fired shortly after our programming aired.I remember talking to one of the people who worked on it closely, he was being pressed on what it meant to be part of a story that got the great bobby knight fired… and he consistently said - the job of the journalist is to present the story as reported, not to strive or reach for any result, he wasn't trying to get Bobby Knight fired, he was trying to present the truth. I admired this approach -- this idea that now people know what happens there. You can still decide to go to Indiana, or later Texas Tech and play for knight, but if he strangles you on the sidelines, or does some other horrific thing, you have to accept it because the truth has been presented to you. This was when I first became obsessed with the art and craft of story telling.
