Today we are revisiting one of my favourite chats with Giaan Rooney. According to Giaan, ‘raising kids’ is the answer to the title question. Apart from being a World Champion, Olympic Gold Medallist, TV Presenter, Sports Commentator, Author, Corporate Speaker, Fashion Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Macadamia Farmer, Mum of Two and Wife of one, Giaan Rooney hasn’t really done much. Nonetheless, we had a good chat. Seriously, this conversation was a fascinating insight into (her) life before, during and after, an Olympic career. Enjoy.

#1770 What's Harder Than Being An Olympian? - Giaan Rooney OAM

Tiff, Bobby and myself all coach people in various capacities, different contexts and for different reasons. But what is it that makes somebody a good coach? How much of it is about knowledge? How much of it is about personality? Social skills? Emotional intelligence? Self-awareness? Situational-awareness? Qualifications? I’m often asked about what’s required to become a successful coach in the avalanche of coaches we have putting up their hand in 2026. This is a chat about that. Enjoy.

I loved this chat with Professor Adam Kucharski, although recording it in the evening probably wasn’t the optimal time for my brain (LOL). *BIO: Professor Adam Kucharski is a mathematician, epidemiologist and award-winning science writer at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. His research uses mathematics and data to understand how infectious diseases spread and how outbreaks can be predicted and controlled. He has advised governments and health agencies around the world and played a significant role in analysing the COVID-19 pandemic. Adam is also the bestselling author of The Rules of Contagion, The Perfect Bet, and his latest book, Proof: The Uncertain Science of Certainty.

Dr. Cam is back at TYP and this time we chat about the powerful relationship between our mind and our outcomes. We speak about the role of mindset and performance in relation to sport and more broadly, life. We explore the habit we humans have of creating and obsessing about problems that don’t exist and the equally self-limiting habit we have of ignoring the problems that do (exist). We talk about blame, constructive feedback, owning up to our BS and our capacity to build a personal prison, composed of flawed beliefs, self-limiting thinking, self-doubt and a bunch of other fear-based emotions. Enjoy.
