BRowShowPodcast presents Doc, Doc, Goose browshowpodcast

The third part of our deeper dive into Wilderness Endurance athlete management, we talk to the Endurance Medical Services (EMS) Medical Director Deb Sharp. Where Wilderness Medicine meets Race Logistics meets Athlete Management, we could not think of a better guest to take us through some of the “behind the scenes” at these events; preparatory planning, in-event medical management, and some of the patterns and pitfalls Deb has seen and learned from.

Continuing with our theme of Wilderness Medicine in Ultra-Endurance Events, we are joined by Steph Gaskell, Sports Dietician and Researcher at Monash University, to focus on the sports science and self- management / practicalities of fueling for the long run.

Steph takes Doc and Goose through fueling for an Ultra, characterizing the event (the goal) and common pitfalls, importance of “training the gut”. She also takes a deep dive into her area of research; Exercise Induced Gastrointestinal Syndrome “Runner’s gut”, and the current thinking around mechanistic pathways, and how to work out for the individual athlete strategies to mitigate common problems.

It’s 2021, Lockdown Continues, but DDG is back for Season 3.

Ultra’s are the new Marathons, and there are few places on earth more extreme, wild and spectacular to take on an Ultra Trail Race than the Victorian High Country. With the growth of popularity of these event worldwide Australia has firmly established itself as a must do destination for those looking to cover great distances with significant elevations. The preparation and support mechanisms to ensure athletes are able to thrive in these environments are significant.

In this episode e join Dr Mac and Bill as they relive the live experience of supporting a 3 day event in the VHC. Taking excerpts from footage recorded live in the field Doc and Goose reflect on what worked, what didn’t and what you really need to consider when taking on one of the incredible and epic events. Check out the footage on YouTube to get the full context of the event.

Taking lessons from experiences, both positive and negative, is key to growth. In this Episode Kellie Wilkie explores what she learned as a competitive swimmer, and junior physio and how that helped shape the way she wished to practice. Kellie has gone on to establish herself as a world leading physio for rowers, ribs and lower backs. We also explore what tractor drivers taught her about back management, and what astronauts taught her about working in high functioning teams.



Kellie was a National Team Physio through the 2008-2016 cycles for the Australian Rowing Team. She is the owner of a 20 year practice in Hobart (BodySystem) and more recently has teamed up with long time colleague Dr Larissa Trease to create development and learning material for helping young rowers grow into healthy & fit older rowers.T

Aussie Stingers Captain Rowie Webster is one of the most decorated and respected Water Polo athletes in the World. Naturally a ‘leader by example’, we explore Rowie’s approach to leadership under duress (injury, set back, changing team dynamics), how she approaches self improvement, and the trusted partners she has drawn upon to keep her at her best. This is a must listen for young athletes and their coaches/supporters, as well as leaders of all ages/stages in sport and life.

In this episode we take a deep dive into a seminal study recently published focusing on the injury and illnesses which most contributed to training missed by athletes on the Australian Rowing Team during the London and Rio Olympic Games. This is a must read overview for coaches, athletes and service team members working in Rowing, but also other endurance activities and indeed all sports. Dr Lari openly discusses the study design, the demographic, and the key injury and illness factors which lead to missed training by some of the most elite athletes in the world.

Dr Lari is a Sport & Exercise Physician and has worked in this specialist field for more than 10 years. Dr Lari was the Chief Medical Officer to Rowing Australia for the Rio Olympic Games and has worked as an Australian Team Doctor across a range of other sport settings including the Sochi Winter Olympics, Beijing Paralympics and the 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games.
