My Mini Athlete and Me: Sport, Parenting and Everything in-between: Recent Episodes
Kirk Bowyer
Hi, we are Clare and Kirk Bowyer….
We are parents of two very active boys and co-founders of Mini Athletics.
In this podcast, we talk to elite athletes (competing or retired) and experts in different fields to find out how they mix parenting and sport.
We will be finding out how they find parenting eg their routines, what kind of sporting parents they are, how they approach sport with their little ones and so much more.
This is my mini athlete and me and we hope you enjoy it.
In this episode we talk to Olympic Athletes Kate and Martyn Rooney. We discuss how they met, the demands of being an athlete and being in a relationship, their children, what type of sporting parents they are, sporting discipline and so much more.
We talk to Jodie Swallow, World Champion Ironman Triathlete and British Olympian about her career, being a Mum to a little boy and twins, exercising and wellbeing as a parent when exhausted and how we need to learn from dogs!
If you are a parent, this is an episode you do not want to miss!
In this episode we talk to Performance consultant, Ross Burbeary. Ross has worked with many top athletes and teams from the UK and USA. We were really interested to find out what to say to our kids in and around sport. For example, what to say to them before or after matches and how to approach nerves around sport.
We talk to Eilidh Doyle, the most decorated Scottish athlete of all time, about her career, being pregnant whilst still training, being a Mum and how her life has changed after retirement.
