Bronte’s Retirement Update

Bronte’s Retirement Update

Welcome to a very special episode of Campbells and Co. Bronte officially announces her retirement from swimming. She leaves the sport as one of the greats. Four Olympics, three Olympic gold medals and multiple world records. But her legacy is so much greater than the achievements in the pool. She was an integral member of the Athlete Leadership Group, President of the Australian Swimmers Association and helped implement swimming's first pregnancy policy. Cate and Bronte reminisce about her time in the sport - the highs and the lows. Bronte shares how she came to the decision and what she plans to do next and why the best years of her life are still to come. We hope you enjoy this very special episode of Campbells and Co.

Exciting Announcement Coming This Sunday

Join Bronte and Cate as they tease an exciting, exclusive episode dropping on Sunday June 7th!

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. If you like the show, be sure to send it to a friend or family member. Thanks for listening!

Dating as an elite athlete.

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co. It’s a rough old dating world out there - but it can be even more tricky to date as an elite athlete. There is the sports bubble, the restrictive lifestyle, the all-encompassing nature of pursuing an Olympic dream, traveling for months at a time and not having a ‘normal’ work schedule.  Cate and Bronte share their own experiences with dating and bust a few myths along the way. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend (or partner). We hope you enjoy this episode of Campbells & Co.

An honest chat about Sibling Rivalry and Bronte addresses the Elephant in the Room.

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co. If there is one question we get asked most often, it’s how do you manage sibling rivalry? Over the years we have given many different answers to this question. There is the polite ‘it was always a shared dream, so it’s great to do it together’. There is the  almost true ‘if I can’t win, I at least want my sister to win’.  While neither of these answers are wrong, they do not fully explore and elaborate on the complexities of competing with and against your sister on the world’s biggest stage for over a decade. Cate and Bronte share their tips for any siblings or parents struggling with this - because while competing at an Olympic Games against your sister is rare, the notion of sibling rivalry is commonplace in many households around Australia (and the world).  If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your sibling (or maybe parent). We hope you enjoy this episode of Campbells & Co.
