Matt Bevilacqua is an Ironman Series Champion, 5 x World Paddle Board Champion, World Record Holder and the only Tasmanian to win the Coolangatta Gold. We sat down with Matt on the Gold Coast for an in depth chat about his life and career. We got to hear about his unorthodox entry into the Ironman sport. Growing up in Tassie and loving his footy (AFL), it was an unusual apprenticeship and in some ways accidental entry into the sport before eventually becoming the first Tasmanian to win the Coolangatta Gold.

We got to hear about his unorthodox entry into the Ironman sport.

Growing up in Tassie and loving his footy (AFL), it was an unusual apprenticeship and in some ways accidental entry into the sport before eventually becoming the first Tasmanian to win the Coolangatta Gold.

Matt shared all the secrets to his success, some hilarious behind the scenes stories as well as reality of competing in such a grueling sport and the crazy training workloads!

But outside of his professionalism we got a great insight into Matt away from the sport.

From his love of AFL to his crazy travel experiences, and even a stint on Australia Ninja Warrior there are just so many great moments on this podcast.
