Athletes After Hours

Athletes After Hours came to life when I moved to France last year. In Ted Lasso, there was a perfect scene in which he described his fascination with Walt Whitman’s famous quote: “Be Curious; not judgmental.” I think we all could do with a bit of that. On the Athletes After Hours Podcast, I want to discover the lesser-known sides of professional athletes, exploring what fascinates them when they step away from the spotlight of competition. Each episode will feature intriguing conversations with elite competitors about their intellectual pursuits, creative hobbies, and the unexpected interests that fuel their curiosity between training sessions. From family to friends, coffee to chefs, artists to videographers, and entertainers to storytellers. Discover the myriad ways these world-class athletes find balance and inspiration to complement their performance. Athletes After Hours will also feature read-outs of the latest publications from my newsletter—He Who Learns. Join me, Tom Portsmouth, on Athletes After Hours as we uncover the fascinating intersection between athletic excellence and personal passions. tomportsmouth.substack.com
