#024 - SEASON 1 FINALE

"#024 - SEASON FINALE" *** For our final episode of Season 1 (sad face) we decided to do things a little different and interview James, your host, to  understand where the voice on the other side of the mic is coming from. James is interviewed by The Average Athletes, Marty and David. The second half of the show we look back on some highlights from Season 1. We can’t wait for next season! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Marty, David and James - Let’s do it! *** This is our last episode of Season 1! There is a short explainer episode (released soon) discussing what will be happening with the show. In short, we are on on pause until the new year when your host, James Matheson, returns from the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games. For normal programming, please see other episodes where James interviews guests.  *** Welcome to The Athlete Collective where your host, Australian Olympian James Matheson, sits down with athletes from around the world to hear how they found their mojo off the field of play. We are looking to tease out that human side of sports that we just don't get to see. If you like the show please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on the next episode dropping every Wednesday. Please leave a REVIEW telling me what you liked, didn't like and who you want to hear from next on the show!  *** Discover The Athlete Collective online channels: Instagram: @theathletecollective Website: www.theathletecollective.com Instagram: @jamesmatheson333***

"#023 - Marieke D'Cruz (née Guehrer): From World Record Holder to Management Consultant..." *** On today’s show, I sat down with Marieke D’Cruz (née Guehrer). Marieke is an ex-Australian swimmer who competed for Australia at the Athens 2004 Olympics and is the former World Record Holder in the 50m butterfly. At the same time, Marieke worked for an Australian public policy think tank, The McKell Institute and now works for McKinsey and Company. In this conversation we discussed what it takes to be a world class swimmer, Marieke’s transition from sport, and why swimmers can feel like fish out of water in retirement. This led to the topic of identity reconciliation, and how important this is through any career transition. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do this!  *** Welcome to The Athlete Collective where your host, Australian Olympian James Matheson, sits down with athletes from around the world to hear how they found their mojo off the field of play.
