    I really enjoyed the Oisin Murphy podcast, one of the most light hearted and relaxed I’ve heard him while still hitting deep themes

  • Can’t get enough of Georgie & the sailors!

    Love the pod, listening from NZ regularly, the sailors have me hooked and the other performance people have me learning! Obviously anything with Ben and SailGP or the Cup is great but can’t get enough of Hannah Mills! Hope to have more female sailors on the pod

  • Too many ads

    I appreciate that you need advertising to fund the podcast and earn a living. However, I feel that the ratio of adverts to content is out of balance.

  • Review my review

    At first,

    I was confused by the podcast structure because I didn’t see that there was an option to view the full conversation versus little bits of them. So I’m pretty happy with it overall.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Eve Muirhead on Olympic Pressure, Mental Health and Finding the Fearless Athlete Again
Q: How do you plan the comeback season to avoid unrealistic pressure and still compete at the highest level?
She describes a season-by-season plan, emphasizing gradual build, selective competitions, decentralization for training, and a focus on sustaining motivation and wellbeing rather than chasing immediate medals.
Sarah Lindsay | Three Olympics... And I Still Felt Like A Failure
Q: What is the one thing starting tomorrow that could change the whole thing up?
Set clear goals and write them down. Commit to what you want, create a concrete plan, and reread it regularly to stay motivated, because progress comes from deliberate steps, not fleeting motivation.
Lucy Charles-Barclay | "I Was Willing To End My Career To Win This Race"
Q: What is the single biggest thing amateur athletes can do to get faster in open water?
Expose themselves to open water more frequently to build confidence and technique, while balancing pool training to maximize preparation without relying on limited exposure.
Mary Earps | Role Models, Resilience And What Comes Next
Q: What does the Keepers program aim to achieve, and how does it fit into your broader goal of making goalkeeping a respected and accessible path for young players?
The Keepers program is about giving back by providing structured goalkeeper coaching and creating a tangible pathway into the sport, especially for girls in Manchester and beyond; it's designed to normalize goalkeeping as a prestigious and feasible role, not just a last resort position.
Mary Earps | Role Models, Resilience And What Comes Next
Q: How has your move to PSG influenced your perspective on competing at the highest level and on adapting to a new culture and language?
Living in Paris pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow both personally and professionally, allowing me to focus on holistic training and performance while embracing a new culture and improving my language skills to communicate effectively on and off the pitch.
