So, what's next?

It's the final episode of season TWO! How on Earth has this happened? It's been a wild ride of a first year of the podcast and I couldn't thank you all enough. To round out what has been another season of fun, I'd like to welcome Australian Olympic rower, James Chapman onto the podcast. James has an abundance of achievements including, but not limited to, second at the 2011 World Championships, first at the 2012 Munich World Cup and Lucerne World Cup, second at the 2012 London Olympic Games and first at the 2013 Sydney World Cup. James is now doing incredible work as the Leadership and Culture Principal Consultant at Maximus International which you can check out at https://www.maximus.com.au/ or https://www.linkedin.com/company/maximus-international. And if you want to find out more about James, you can find him here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-j-chapman/ See you all for season three! The launch of season three will happen on our Instagram page @podcastsowhatsnext so make sure to give them a follow.

We've got to keep you on your toes so it's time to step away from the world of Olympians this week and jump to the professional sport of AFL. On this week's episode of So, what's next? we get to know the wonderful Alipate Carlile. Alipate played 153 games for Port Adelaide Power since commencing his career with the Power in 2006 and has been a Power loyaltist since day dot. Now, Alipate is working as the Multicultural Programs Manager at Port Adelaide Football Club and has a wealth of knowledge about leadership and mentoring, how his identity has developed over his career and how his team completely flipped their culture on it's head to produce some incredible seasons. I hope you all enjoy this episode and as always, you can find us on Instagram @podcastsowhatsnext. See you all next Tuesday for the FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON TWO!

I walked away from speaking to Georgia thinking, "Jeez... it's nice to hear my thoughts are normal." Welcome to another week of So, what's next? and on this week's episode, we have the Lead Performance Psychologist at the Australian Olympic Committee, Georgia Ridler. After speaking to so many athletes, I wanted to find out more about how our mental wellbeing can affect our performance, the importance of the work life balance, the incredible skills that athletes learn that can be used in the world of employment and how to identify as more than just an athlete. I truly encourage any athlete and person, regardless of where they're at in their career, give this episode a listen. In other news, go check us out on Instagram @podcastsowhatsnext. See you all there!

Why on earth are there two names in the title? That's right, we have double the guest speakers on today's episode! Let's welcome 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic figure skater, Cheltzie Lee and 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic freestyle skier in mogul skiing, Sam Hall. Apart from the fact that these two have some incredible sporting achievements under their belt, they also MET through sport and so I thought what better way to share their transitions out of sport than with each other. This episode is filled with banter and them finishing each other's sentences and I'm absolutely here for it. I hope you all enjoy the episode and much as I did recording it.

Welcome back to So, what's next?, the podcast covering athletes transitions out of sport and all the lessons they've learned along the way. On this week's episode, we welcome Suzy Balogh, Olympic gold medallist in the sport of shooting. Suzy won gold at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics in Trap as well as bronze at the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games in Trap Pairs and gold in Trap Pairs and bronze in Double Trap Pairs at the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Suzy now runs Hitting Targets, a gun club in NSW introducing people to clay shooting. She is also a mentor in the Gold Medal Ready program under the Australian Institute of Sport, getting Australian athletes ready for Tokyo 2020/21 and an Olympians Unleashed Speaker at the Australian Olympic Committee, talking to year 9’s about setting career and sporting goals.
