The High Performance

In the week that Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes has bravely revealed she is gay, Jake & Damian revisit the conversation we recorded with Kelly before our podcast journey had even begun, and at a time Kelly has now admitted she was in a very tough place.

Her story of Olympic golds, doubt, depression, self-harm, and injury is one you need to hear and is just remarkable.

From a life spent abseiling into erupting volcanos in the Democratic Republic of Congo, rowing the Atlantic, getting locked in a bunker for 10 days with zero daylight... he has learnt that with the right head game, no matter how hard it gets, you can get through anything life throws at you.

Aldo joined us on the High Performance Circle (our free members club - link below) and took us through the lessons he's learnt from the very edge of human experience.

On the day (Wednesday 1st June) of the emotional World Cup play-off game between Scotland vs Ukraine, we revisit an edited version of our conversion with Scotland manager Steve Clarke. The game was postponed in March after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, so this is the first competitive match Ukraine have been able to play since the declaration of war.

Steve's greatest achievement has been reversing the years of underperformance of the national football team, taking them to their first major tournament in over 20 years, and determined for them not to be one tournament wonders. Steve is searing in his honesty and inspiring with his humility. Listen to Steve explain how he's preparing his team for one of the most important games in their history.

This podcast was recorded live at the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh.

Russell Kane is a writer, comedian and actor, he’s best known for his stand-up specials and his appearances on panel shows. Russell shared that he believes “everyone… has an amazing skill and talent, however not everyone has the ability or luck to find it". He takes us through his challenging journey of finding success, from living in a mother and baby shelter to his life now. 

He discusses his relationship with his father and what effect it has had on the way he parents his children. His house is a space for his children to be free and happily express themselves, rather than how Russell was not encouraged to do what he wanted. Russell speaks about how his dad always expected something to be bad, rather than allowing himself to experience happiness. 

Russell shares his winning formula for success: hard work + sacrifice x joy.

This episode was filmed on The High Performance Live Tour in Manchester.
