What drives performance? Technology or psychology?

In defense of the bandwagon sports fan & all the action from the Commonwealth Games Swimming Trials.

This week on the show Cate and Bronte take you through all the results from the Australian Swimming Commonwealth Games Trials and tell you why the Games are being held in Glasgow instead of Victoria. The New York Knicks broke a 53 year drought by winning the NBA championship at the weekend. Their captain Jalen Brunsen put on the performance of a lifetime and prompted the question: what mindset makes a winner? Plus Cate admits to being soccer ambivalent but is happy to jump on the bandwagon during the World Cup. Is it ever okay to jump on a sporting team’s bandwagon? Or are sports teams for long term fans only?

Are tennis players getting too greedy? And why was every Olympian mad last week?

This week on the show Cate and Bronte unpack all the drama from the French Open. From crowning two new Grand Slam champions 19 year old Mirra Andreeva and 29 year old Alexander Zverev.

Bronte and Cate then delve into the revenue share debate at the French Open which leads to a heated discussion about whether Olympians should be paid prize money. It’s a juicy topic, let us know what you think. Thanks for listening!

Enhanced Games Update and Parenting Elite Athletes

This week on the podcast Cate and Bronte have a little chuckle at the absolute flop that was the Enhanced Games. Bronte reckons she could jump in the pool now, busted ACL and all and still swim faster than the 4th place getter in the women’s 100m freestyle. The main topic this week is around parenting elite athletes. It’s rare to have one Olympian in a family - let alone two. So what did Mr and Mrs Campbell do to instill excellence, dedication and perseverance in their children? The answer might surprise you.
