Australian Olympic Flagbearer, Jess Fox | Re-release from 2021

This conversation was originally recorded and released in 2021 in the days following Jess Fox's Gold and Bronze medal performances at the Tokyo Olympics (note the discussion of COVID quarantine). Fast-forward three years and Jess is the flagbearer for the Australian Olympic team in Paris, ready to express herself on the Olympic stage once again. We thought there no better way than to get into the Olympic spirit than by revisiting this inspiring conversation with the one and only, Jess Fox.

Jess is the most successful individual slalom canoeist of all time, competing in the C1, K1 and extreme slalom events. Jess’ mindset is truly world class. She’s a fierce competitor and thrives on challenges, but brings real joy and humanity to the process. In this conversation, Jess unpacks how she has learned to use her mind to bounce back from disappointments, rise to the occasion and continually improve as she explores her potential.
