  • Hamish Kerr- What a Lad
    2024/11/09

    Hamish Kerr is officially the greatest High Jumper in the world having recently won Gold at the Paris Olympics. However, what you're about to hear in this episode is an insight into the mind of the Olympic champion and you'll be amazed at how close he came to bowing out in the Qualifiers which in his mind would have meant retirement. The pressure that come on one single jump is insane and when you need to be relaxed and in flow when jumping how you handle that pressure is the difference.


    Some other cool parts of this episode that should out for me was..


    Growing up playing lot's of sports, playing on the wing in rugby

    How at the age of 11 he was arguably faster than Rieko Ioane

    His journey into High Jump and why he quit after school

    An insight in to the training schedule of an individual athlete

    How important your mindset in as a world class athlete

    Why he wasn't keen to settle on the split gold medal

    What made him take off to the middle of the Javelin field once he had won the gold

    And heaps more!


    As you'll hear Hamish is a very smart, open and honest man who gives so much gold (excuse the pun) in this episode. What he has done for High Jump and Athletics in this country has been massively and he is such a champion! If you enjoyed this episode please give it share and I will continue to bring you more great guests like Hamish.

  • Christian Cullen- What a Lad
    2024/11/01

    Christian Cullen is a legend. You only have to watch a few minutes of his highlights package to remind yourself how good he really was. The speed and agility, his ability to change direction at full pace, his deceptive strength, add on top his attacking mindset and his braveness in defence! He was a joy to watch. He's also such a champion man who prefers not doing things like this so super grateful to get him on.


    In this whopping 2 hour episode some parts that stood out for me


    • How the working the milk run growing up helped his rugby
    • Debuting for Horowhenua straight out of school against Jonah
    • Making the NZ 7's sides with Titch and stories from Hong Kong and the Commonwealth games
    • The old school nature of the All Black environment he went in to
    • I loved hearing about some of the greatest tries ever scored
    • How he ended up at 13 for a RWC
    • His relationship with John Mitchell
    • Why he left to Munster and his time playing over there
    • Why he hated warming up
    • And heaps heaps more.

    Growing up Christian Cullen was my absolute hero, he inspired me to play the game so to sit down with him and have this conversation was truely incredible. What I'm sure will stand out for you is how humble and down to earth he is, you certainly wouldn't think I'm talking to one of the greatest to ever play the game listening to this. If you enjoy this one, please give it a share and I will continue to bring you the big guest like Christian Cullen.


    Special mention to Paraparaumu Rugby Club for allowing me to record this episode in their Clubrooms.
