What is the Personality Type of a Champion?

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co. This week on the pod, Cate and Bronte answer a listener question asking whether you need to be a specific personality type to become an elite athlete. Cate, who is studying psychology, takes us through the basics of personality and trait theory and explains that roughly half of your personality is set by your genetics, while the other half is shaped through your environment and experiences. It’s a really interesting chat about what it takes to be a champion and ultimately Cate and Bronte conclude (in a very unscientific way) that personality might help to a point, but sport makes room for all personality types. Recommendations from the Episode: * Listen to Instructions: Bronte reminds everyone to double check that ‘nude’ swim actually means ‘nude’ swim. * Mascara: Cate recommended MCO Beauty tubular mascara.

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. Both athletes had very different journeys to their maiden slam wins and reminded us that sport is not predictable and that’s why we love it so much. 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! Recommendations from the Episode: * Book: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. * Movie: Misery the adaptation of the Stephen King novel.
