Camilla: “You are brilliant at drawing people out with great questions, creating really enjoyable podcasts.” Mark Wakeling: “Really enjoyed the Chemmy interview. From an early age just wouldn't take no for an answer and her infectious enthusiasm is inspiring.” Jim: “I was listening to the podcast the other day while hiking up a mountain. You were talking about where to get second-hand skis. At the beginning of the season, a lot of resorts organise Braderies where the local shops pool ex-hire or last season kit to sell in one convenient place. Another great option is shops like Trocsport which sell secondhand skis on behalf of individuals. There are loads of small shops like this.” There are now 226 episodes of The Ski Podcast to catch up with and 121 of those were listened to in the last week.

This week on the show Brian and Harrison are joined by Olympic Champion Lydia Lassila. Lydia is a former Australian freestyle skier (Aerials) and entrepreneur. She is a 5x Winter Olympian, winning Gold at Vancouver in 2010 and Bronze at Sochi in 2014. A trailblazer in her sport, she continually pushed the progression of her sport no matter the consequences, she is undoubtably one of Australia's greatest ever athletes. She is inspiring, incredibly resilient and has always maintained the very Aussie philosophy that it is just all about ‘having a crack', she delt with devastating injuries, took time away to start a family and many more challenges, but always got through with sheer grit and determination. As a youngster, Lydia was a talented gymnast with dreams of competing at the Olympics, injuries and opportunities forced her to give up her dream, but when a former coach called her and said that they were starting a pilot program that's goal was to turn gymnasts into aerial skiers, and with the carrot of the Olympics dangling, she was all in without hesitation, the only problem was, at that stage, Lydia had never skied before. Within 18 months, she competed at the Olympics in 2002 (Salt Lake City) and by the Olympics in 2018 (PyeongChang) she was one of Australia's most decorated and inspirational Winter Olympic athletes. In 2016, Lydia released a fantastic documentary called ‘The Will To Fly', which follows her journey to the 2014 Olympics, documenting her career to date and her experiences as mum and competing in one of the world's most dangerous sports. Lydia is also the founder of two businesses BodyICE (ice and heat therapy products) and Zone by Lydia (sustainable yoga gear).

This week's podcast guest is Angus Ross. Angus is a former Winter Olympian employed by High Performance Sport New Zealand. He works with track and field and several other Olympic sports, including sprint cycling, skeleton, squash, rowing, tennis, and more. Angus has a PhD in exercise physiology from the University of Queensland and has been a multi-time guest on the podcast. He is an absolute wealth of knowledge on all things speed, power, and human performance. There is a lot that the world of sport can learn from track and field, but perhaps the most valuable lessons can be gained by studying the decathlon and heptathlon events. Most sports performance programs will jump, sprint, and throw, but the focused, competitive aspects of those events bring out the highest level of expression for pure outputs, along with the speed-endurance aspects. In today's podcast, Angus discusses the relationship between the multi-events and the needs of team sports, including the dynamics of creating scoring tables in a performance program and the connective tissue development multi-event training brings about. He discusses the relationship between speedbag training and sprinting. He also gets into isometrics and elasticity, as well as plenty of case studies and examples of putting these principles into action. I always have fantastic conversations with Angus; this talk was no exception. Today's episode is brought to you by Lost Empire Herbs, TeamBuildr and the Plyomat.

And in terms of trying to maintain your athleticism, probably that elasticity, ability to bounce is probably something that we should be thinking about." - Angus Ross" “I talked at a high jump mini conference we had in New Zealand a little while ago. Made the analogy that it's really interesting, too, that the high jump + heptathlon is a really good combination. There's a lot of world class heptathlon athletes (who are really good at high jump). "With the decathlon. I kind of have this idea in my head, like the decathlon principle, in the sense of what could be applied for any event. Like almost this catalog of same but different skills to be good at if you want to be good at one thing." - Joel Smith" “But in contrast, volume of work probably is really good for your connective tissue and your fascial stuff and your tendons. And so perhaps the multi event is. And this is one of the things I was writing a couple of notes when you had some of those ideas to talk about. It's fascinating to me that we have now, we've got decathletes on the scene that can run 10...

Kiwi winter Olympian and biathlon junior world champion Campbell Wright is set to compete under a new flag moving forward. Wright already holds American citizenship and will officially switch competitive allegiances to the US team from July 1. He explained he was making the switch overseas because he was prioritising his athletic career over national pride. "At the end of the day, I want to be the best biathlete I can be.

He was a shoo-in for the 1998 Winter Olympics but then... Apolo grew complacent. He self-sabotaged & threw away his training, finishing last in the Olympics trials.His father was so upset, he sent Apolo to an isolated cabin at Copalis Beach and said: "You'll stay here for as long as it takes for you to figure out what you want to do with your life!"That was traumatic.Apolo decided he would give this sport a real shot & that's when everything changed. But there was a price to pay for such "psychotic obsession".He was ruthless to everyone, including himself.In this STIMY Episode, we talked about how he finds FLOW, sports psychology, self-sabotage, the importance of recovery, and being obsessive without being "mindlessly handcuffed to it".So if you want to live your life to the fullest the way an Olympic champion does, then this is the episode for you!Highlights:3:27 Survival7:23 Why did this happen?10:35 Blowing up toilets?!12:25 Joining the Superman sports15:33 Sleeping with his skates16:48 Sacrifice22:01 Not being handcuffed to failure24:39 Self-sabotage30:57 The darker side to obsession39:31 Finding the FLOW state42:50 The power of introspection45:25 The controversial Salt Lake City Olympics win49:20 Turin Olympics50:46 Why Apolo turned away from Hollywood52:30 A lion is most dangerous when it knows it's near its end56:11 Psychotic obsession outside of sports57:31 Not returning to sports + Michael Phelps58:51 The Great Divorce1:02:37 What do you say yes to?1:05:07 Building his personal board of directors1:08:31 Who are you?

We have spoken about occupational risk factors for osteoarthritis on previous episodes, but one occupation we have not covered is elite level athletes or Olympians. The intense training schedules sometimes lasting up to 6 hours a day make Olympians more susceptible to joint injury. On this week's episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Dr Debbie Palmer to discuss the prevalence of osteoarthritis in Olympians. Dr Debbie Palmer OLY is a lecturer in research methods and epidemiology. She is a three-time Winter Olympian, and competed in short track speed skating between 1990-2002. Debbie subsequently worked as an exercise physiologist at the University of Bath before completing her PhD in injury epidemiology 2009, and she has worked in sport injury and illness prevention for over 14 years. Debbie's research focuses on epidemiology, risk and prevention of injury and illness in elite, youth and recreational cohorts, longer-term consequences of sport-related injury, and current and retired athlete health.RESOURCESPrevalence of and factors associated with osteoarthritis and pain in retired Olympians compared with the general population: part 1 – the lower limbPrevalence of and factors associated with osteoarthritis and pain in retired Olympians compared with the general population: part 2 – the spine and upper limbConsequences of injury are greater for Olympians than the general populationCONNECT WITH USTwitter: @ProfDavidHunter @jointactionorgEmail: hello@jointaction.infoWebsite: www.jointaction.info/podcast Hosted on Acast.

If you are a skier, chances are at some point you've imagined what it would be like to compete at the Olympics. For most of us - daydreaming while we wait in the lift line is as close as we'll ever get. But for Carly Margulies, it was more than just a dream - it was her life's purpose. Carly's decision to chase her dream led her down a road that very few have traveled. Over the last 8 years, she has had more setbacks than most skiers experience in a lifetime. After 7 knee surgeries, she thought that her days of competing at a high level were over. But with a little luck and a whole lot of grit, she overcame the odds and earned her spot at the 2022 Winter Olympics in China. Join us for Episode 2 of Adventurous Minds with Carly Margulies, as we cover growing up skiing, overcoming the physical and mental challenges of injuries, realizing her Olympic dreams, and competing on the world's greatest stage. For the latest from Adventurous Minds, connect with us on Instagram, Youtube, and more. https://linktr.ee/adventurousminds

Olympians, they're just like us! If you need someone to cheer for this Winter Olympics, look no further than St. Olaf graduate, Jake Brown. As a self proclaimed, ‘typical Minnesota distance athlete' Brown got his start in cross country skiing at a young age. His aerobic background from skiing made for a natural transition into running world when he got to high school. However, wile at Princeton he was longing to ski in college. He transferred to St. Olaf in 2013 and was an instant impact for their cross country program. St. Olaf was retuning five guys from the previous year's 14th place team. Adding Jake was the missing piece as they were able to take down North Central College by 2 points to take home the 2013 XC Team Title. With eligibility left to ski, Brown went to Northern Michigan University for graduate school. He was able to compete on the Nordic ski team and that's where it began to click for him with skiing. After being scouted at a Biathlon ID camp, Brown made his way to Vermont to train full time as a Biathlon athlete. Since then, he has gone to compete at 3 World Championships and was the 2019 US Biathlon Champ!
