The OTB Crew Podcast
A Weekly Podcast Full Of Shenanigans From 3 Elite Swimmers and That Off The Blocks Guy. A Poddy For The Swimmers By The Swimmers
Welcome to the OTB Crew Podcast for another week, and this week the Crew are all back on board.
In this podcast, I may or may not stir the pot a little between Lani and Josh by bringing up the Spin Bike debarkle (listen to episode 12 for context lol) and they air their thoughts on this podcast. Does Josh apologise? Does Lani accept? All i know is a really cute dog named Weiner comes into the podcast just at the right time to make everyone say "awww cute puppy".
Lach tells how parenting life is going with Taylor and his new edition Weiner, and we get into weird dreams and how they can have an effect on your mood and emotions when you wake up. That's when things get a little spooky and weird. As if the start to the conversation isn't weird enough with my dream, Josh takes the cake with a story and a sound you have to hear to believe. And yes the sound is in the podcast.
We finish by tackling a subject you won't hear on any other swimming podcast and that's newly adult athletes balancing social life and drinking with their training and goals. All three crew members gives their own unique perspectives on the topic and gives some awesome advice to all the listeners just turning 18 on how to balance having fun with mates on the weekends with training at an elite level. Great chat, and a topic very rarely discussed even though it is very much a part of society and culture in our country.
Another cracking episode, with all the crew back on deck.
Welcome to a special edition of the OTB Crew Podcast
In this podcast I fly solo (because Lani, Lach and Josh were asleep, it's a time zone thing), and go one on one with the South African superstar breaking all the Junior World records and even beating our own Kyle Chalmers, Matthew Sates.
I chat to Matt while he is in Doha for the World Cup series and get a great insight into one of the biggest names in world swimming right now. We discuss his amazing success in Budapest breaking junior short course world records and what it has been like trying to deal with the media attention that comes with that.
As well we talk about his 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games experience and what a great help South African legend Chad Le Clos has been to him through his rise in world swimming.
This is a fantastic conversation with a young swimmer who really is one of the most talked about athletes in world swimming right now, and for someone with such a bright future he has such a level head and gives some great advice and insights that i think we all could learn a thing or two from.
Welcome for another week to the OTB Crew Podcast
This week we chat with Swimming Australia star and double Olympic medallist from Tokyo Meg Harris.
In this podcast we discuss Meg's big move down to South Australia to train with supercoach Peter Bishop and her swimming bestie Madi Wilson. Meg also takes us through some of the amazing moments from this years Tokyo Olympics including the phenomenal World Record breaking 4x100 Freestyle relay where the girls won Gold on day 1.
As the title suggests we also talk about blankets and pillows, the right sleeping temperature in bed, and how many pillows is too many pillows to have on your lounge? Are you with the girls who say you can never have too many, or with the boys who say just one or two is enough? lol You didn't really think on the OTB Crew Podcast we were just going to talk swimming did you? haha
