11: A Coaching Reflection

Join us for our 10th podcast where we are joined by Kylie Jessop. Kylie takes us through her life from being born in England, raised in New Zealand and now moving to Australia. Kylie has a fascinating history with food and nutrition, turning her life around from an eating disorder whilst in Uni to now being a nutritionist working in the important area of public health. We have a great chat about her progression in endurance sport and go into her favourite race which was the 2018 ITU Age Group World Champs in the standard distance. We also chat about the latest squad results and catch up on what’s happening in and around the squad. 

10: Kylie Jessop on life as an athlete, nutritionist and passionate foodie.

In this episode of the podcast I get Matt Lester back from Episode 5 to guest host the show. I really enjoyed being much more in the conversational space than preaching solo. Adds a fun element to it that makes it easier to record but also easier to listen to. As usual, we hit the latest squad results up and discuss the preps for those events from a coaching perspective. We then go into a random question and answer piece where we discuss training load builds, mental preparation and what makes us want to endure .... plus more. Matt Lester can be found on Instagram at @lester_endurance My Instagram is @hptcoachpete In the Q&A Matt mentions a great book on mental skills by Angela Duckworth - it’s called “Grit - The Power of Passion and Perseverance"
