How a stable environment influences our success and performance * Jodie Swallow, Legend of British Triathlon

Some time ago, I made an executive decision that as well as celebrating the current state of the British Triathlon elite performances we should also celebrate those athletes who came before. They are the foundation of the sport in this country and so I decided to have a sub-section of the Podcast called Legends of British Triathlon

 

One of those legends is this week's guest, Jodie Swallow. Jodie is an Olympian and a former world champion at both ITU Long distance and 70.3. Jodie retired from the sport in 2017 and has since become a full-time coach (you can find details of her coaching business in the show notes). She is also a mother of 3, including twins. It was really nice to catch up and reminisce and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

As usual, we get into a lot of subjects including:

• The winning mentality
• How a stable environment has a positive influence on our performance and life
• Eating disorders in endurance athletes 
• The lack of female coaches in any sport and at the highest level
