Customer Reviews
The best sporting podcast out there.
I am ashamed to say I have only recently joined the party with this podcast, and I am glad I did.
It’s so refreshing to hear athletes both current and retired talk so honestly and freely about their experiences.
Lauren, Jazz and Hannah and all others who have featured are wonderful people, and they have done an incredible job of offering a unique insight into life as an athlete.
What is the most important aspect for me, is you start to hear about the humans behind the goggles (or respective sporting gear), and that’s the most important aspect of this. Athletes have so much expectation placed on their shoulders, and all you see is them on the front pages of magazines with heavy titles on the page such as “Britain’s medal hopefuls”. Yet behind all of that bravado is a person, who has feelings and thoughts of their own.
A brilliant podcast, thank you all I am hooked!
Amazing women: fantastic podcast.
I would urge all athletes to listen. No matter what level you are - you will find you can relate to both Jazz and Lauren. They also feature some brilliant guests and just listening to these guys made me want to rush back to the pool. Love them!
Definitely give this podcast a go!
This podcast is honestly super! It’s suitable from anyone from athletes to coaches no matter what sport and it’s great to realise that Lauren and Jazz have been through it all like the rest of us. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve listened to so far and would definitely recommend as it’s so funny and relatable! Thank you Lauren and Jazz!
