Show Notes
This week I'm joined by one of Australia's most respected high performance leaders, Andrew Russell.
Andrew has spent more than 30 years helping elite athletes perform at their best, working across the AFL and professional sport to build stronger, more resilient athletes and teams.
With the Melbourne Marathon on the horizon, I sit down with Andrew to unpack my own running journey, how I'm going to get to the starting line, and the habits that actually help people stay consistent long after the motivation wears off.
From there, the conversation broadens into elite performance, injury rehabilitation, leadership and the lessons Andrew has learned from rebuilding some of the AFL's biggest names throughout his career.
We talk:
The high performance myths and trends taking over social media right now
Why I'm running the Melbourne Marathon
Andrew's playbook for building habits that actually last
Stories from working with Patrick Cripps, Charlie Curnow, Lance Franklin, Shaun Burgoyne and more
What it really takes to rebuild elite athletes after injury
How high performance has evolved over Andrew's 30-year career
The high performance titles Andrew recommends for anyone wanting to improve, which you can find on Audible
