    Elite Athletes Guide to Lifemaxxing

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, Katie Hoff sits down with four of the biggest names in swimming for a rapid-fire conversation about one question: How do elite athletes maximize every area of their lives? Joined by Kate Douglass, Alex Walsh, Patrick Sammon, and Quintin McCarty, this episode explores the habits, routines, and mindsets that extend far beyond the pool. From meditation and mental resilience to recovery, nutrition, skincare, social media, and race-day psychology, each athlete shares the routines that help them perform at their best. While their answers couldn't be more different, one thing becomes clear: there is no single blueprint for success. Every athlete has found their own way to maximize performance, happiness, and balance. Along the way, you'll hear surprising confessions about doom scrolling, coffee addictions, fast food, ice cream, and the health trends they wish they had never tried. The conversation also dives into emotional intelligence, confidence, training philosophies, tapering, technical details, and the lessons they've learned from competing at the highest level. It's honest, funny, and full of practical takeaways that apply whether you're chasing Olympic dreams or simply trying to become a better version of yourself. Most importantly, this episode reminds us that "life maxxing" looks different for everyone. Whether it's finding joy in the process, embracing time alone, investing in relationships, or learning to smile more through the ups and downs, these conversations reveal the human side of some of the world's best athletes. If you're looking for new ideas to improve your mindset, health, habits, or performance, this episode is packed with insights you can start applying today. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS IM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% off endlesspools.com/unfiltered to unlock $1,000 off dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off ----- #UnfilteredWaters #Swimming #LifeMaxxing

    Van Mathias

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, Katie Hoff is joined by special guest host Lilly King for a conversation with one of swimming's most unexpected breakout stars, Van Mathias, the American record holder in the 50-meter breaststroke and Indiana University's Director of Operations. Van's journey is anything but conventional. After stepping away from elite competition to begin his full-time career, he found himself drawn back to the pool with a completely different perspective. Now balancing a demanding job with training, he's redefining what it looks like to chase world-class performance while living a life outside of swimming. Van shares how working a full-time job has actually made him a better athlete, why he no longer feels pressure on race day, and how having something bigger than swimming has completely changed his mindset. The conversation also explores Van's unconventional training philosophy, the evolution from distance swimmer to sprint specialist, and how he and his coaches are challenging traditional ideas about what it takes to become one of the fastest breaststrokers in the world. He discusses returning to the sport after two years away, embracing new methods in the weight room and pool, and why sprinting is less about who swims the fastest and more about who slows down the least. Along the way, Van opens up about his loyalty to Indiana University, the culture that shaped him, the sacrifices required to pursue two careers at once, and why he believes he's been given an extra life in the sport. From balancing spreadsheets and swim meets to chasing an Olympic dream, his story is a reminder that success doesn't always follow a straight line. Honest, funny, and refreshingly different, this episode offers a unique look at one of swimming's most compelling stories and the mindset behind an athlete who is rewriting the rules while keeping the joy of competition at the center of it all. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off Go to helixsleep.com/Unfilteredwaters for 20% off sitewide ----- #UnfilteredWaters #Swimming #VanMathias

    Devon Allen

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, Katie Hoff sits down with Devon Allen, one of the rare athletes to reach the highest level in two sports. A two-time Olympian in the 110-meter hurdles and former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, Devon shares what it takes to pursue excellence across completely different competitive worlds. The conversation dives into Devon's unique journey from football standout to Olympic hurdler and back again. He reflects on the injuries that altered his path, the decision to step away from football after Rio, and why focusing solely on track did not produce the breakthrough he expected. Devon opens up about rediscovering joy in competition, how returning to football changed his perspective, and why having multiple passions ultimately helped him become a better athlete. Katie and Devon also compare the demands of track and field versus the NFL, discussing everything from training philosophies and recovery to the mental challenges of competing on the world's biggest stages. Devon shares what it felt like to finish fourth at the Olympics, the lessons he learned from narrowly missing the podium, and why his eyes remain firmly set on competing at a third Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The conversation goes beyond sports as Devon reflects on identity, discipline, coaching, and the importance of staying grounded through success and setbacks. From navigating NFL training camp and learning a new playbook to coaching athletes at his alma mater and mentoring the next generation, Devon brings a thoughtful perspective that extends far beyond athletics. Honest, insightful, and full of lessons on resilience and growth, this episode explores what happens when talent meets curiosity, and why the pursuit of greatness is rarely a straight line. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or simply chasing a big goal of your own, there's something in this conversation for you. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off ----- #UnfilteredWaters #Olympics #NFL

A two-time Olympic gold medalist, former world record holder, broadcaster, entrepreneur, and mother of three, Becky reflects on the journey that took her from Olympic glory in Beijing to building a life and legacy beyond the pool. The conversation explores Becky’s unique relationship with swimming and competition. While many athletes thrive on race day, Becky reveals that she never loved competing and instead found her joy in the daily process of training. She opens up about the anxiety she felt leading into major competitions, the disappointment she carried after London 2012 despite winning two Olympic bronze medals, and how she learned to separate her identity from results. Katie and Becky also dive into motherhood, pregnancy loss, IVF journeys, and the realities of balancing family with a meaningful career. Becky shares her experience navigating multiple miscarriages, the anxiety that followed during pregnancy, and the lessons she has learned about resilience, trust, and giving herself grace through life’s most challenging moments. Today, Becky’s passion is transforming swimming at the grassroots level through her growing network of swim schools across the United Kingdom. She discusses her mission to improve water safety, expand access to swimming lessons, and create opportunities for future generations to develop confidence in the water. For Becky, the impact of swimming extends far beyond medals and records. It is about changing lives.

    Allison Schmitt

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, Katie Hoff sits down with one of the most decorated swimmers in American history, Allison Schmitt. A four-time Olympian, ten-time Olympic medalist, Olympic champion, former world record holder, and longtime advocate for mental health, Allison reflects on the lessons, challenges, and perspective she has gained throughout an extraordinary career. From the heartbreak of missing an Olympic final by one one-hundredth of a second in Beijing to becoming one of the stars of Team USA in London, Allison shares how failure shaped her mindset and fueled her success. She opens up about learning to tune out outside noise, embracing pressure, and why her competitive switch never flipped until the moment she hit the water. The conversation also dives deep into identity, mental health, and the power of feeling understood. Allison reflects on growing up in speech therapy, finding her voice as a female athlete, and why she is passionate about helping the next generation of girls stay in sports and advocate for themselves. She shares the role her support system played during difficult moments, the importance of curiosity, and how coaches can create environments where athletes feel seen, heard, and empowered. Now retired from competition and recently married, Allison discusses life after swimming, navigating uncertainty, and finding purpose beyond medals and records.

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, Katie Hoff sits down with former New England Patriots captain and three-time Super Bowl champion Devin McCourty for a conversation about leadership, pressure, preparation, and life beyond football. After spending 13 seasons with one organization, Devin reflects on what it was really like playing under Bill Belichick, building a championship culture, and earning the trust of teammates in one of the most demanding environments in professional sports. He shares stories from his rookie years, lessons learned from veteran leaders, and the mindset that helped him navigate both success and adversity throughout his career. The conversation also explores the transition from athlete to broadcaster, how leadership evolves after retirement, and why the habits that create winning teams often apply just as much to business, family, and everyday life.

    Sonia Chase

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, we step outside the pool and into a powerful conversation with former WNBA player Sonia Chase, a true pioneer from the league’s early years. Sonia brings a unique perspective, having lived through the evolution of the WNBA from what she describes as survival mode to the strategy-driven era we see today. We dive into the league’s latest collective bargaining agreement, why it is such a major shift for women’s sports, and what it means for the next generation of athletes. But this conversation goes far beyond basketball. Sonia shares how she navigated life after sport without a clear roadmap, how she transitioned into entrepreneurship, and why athletes are uniquely built to succeed in business. She opens up about confidence, imposter syndrome, and the mindset shift required to go from being coached your entire life to leading your own path. We also get into the power of storytelling and social media, why athletes need to build their personal brand beyond their sport, and how that connection with fans can drive real growth for leagues and individuals alike. And in a moment that feels like breaking news, Sonia talks about her vision to bring a WNBA team to Baltimore, a project she is actively working on and deeply invested in. Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur, or navigating your next chapter, this episode is packed with perspective, insight, and real-world lessons. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off Use code UWBlanket20 for 20% off the weighted recovery blanket ----- #UnfilteredWaters #WNBA #SoniaChase
