16. Interview with Crossfit Games athlete Jamie Simmonds

In this week’s podcast, I talked to Crossfit Games athlete and former Crossfit Open Winner, Jamie Simmonds.

As an elite athlete in one of the most gruelling and intense sports, Jamie knows a thing or two about high performance!

In 2016 she took the Crossfit world by storm winning the Crossfit Open as a relatively new athlete in the sport. Since then she has competed at the Crossfit Games four times as an individual and once as a team, placing third twice and never finishing outside the top 12.

This is a powerful episode and we dive into:

How her competitive gymnastics and rugby playing childhood lead her to Crossfit
How her moved to Abu Dhabi shaped her view of the world and taught her valuable lessons about herself and the cultures around her
What intense homesickness taught her about people and sport
What it means to turn on and off your athlete mindset in training and competitions.
How she coped mentally and physically after a shoulder injury forced her out of the 2021 season
The importance of self-reflection in competition
How she balances work, training and life!
How she deals with pressure - both the pressure she puts on herself and the pressure from those around her
What her plan for the 2022 season looks like
What a champion’s mindset means for Jamie
AND SO MUCH MORE!

This is an incredible episode with key takeaways not only for sport and performance but life and connection!

18. The life changing volleyball concept I use every day - Essential lessons in teamwork, life and self development.

Who doesn’t love a good story!

Join me as I take you back to my volleyball days (yes I know it is a sport for tall people!)
This is where I learned some of my most powerful and pivotal lessons. These are concepts I still use and apply every single day.

You don’t have to be a sports fan to understand and apply these concepts. The thing I found most incredible was that I use these concepts more now than I ever did on the court!

This weeks epiosde I cover:

How one coach transformed a team full of high school girls, all with their own individual agendas and personalities into a winning united force.
The foundations of a strong team - communication, ownership, confidence, persistence, teamwork and the concept of bettering the ball.
The lessons we learnt on day one of training that changed the communication of the team forever
The concept of ownership and taking responsibility of the play
How to demonstrate commitment to the team
How to show your teammates you have their back
Why getting the biggest bruise led to the best stories, the best memories and built the best team environment
Finally the one ruling concept that I live by each and every day BETTER THE BALL
- Learn how to improve your day every day
- Learn how to improve the days of the people around you
Finally, why I buy two coffees each day!

These concepts of teamwork and self-improvement are not only relevant on the court but can be applied throughout life, work and relationships.

This episode is a powerful one and I am so excited to see the ripple effects of the better the ball concept!
