Episode 15
In today's episode I spend time with an Aussie treasure and swimming superstar, Linley Frame.
We discuss how swimming elevated itself over Linley's other sporting pursuits, how hard coaches had to work to get her to the AIS, and the highest of highs and lowest of lows throughout her celebrated career.
We explore the impact of the media, illness and homesickness on Linley's mindset and how she handled the pressure of not only her own, but the nations expectations.
Now firmly entrenched at Swimming Australia as Wellbeing and Engagement Manager, Linley is making a difference for the next generation of Australia's swimming elite.
It's a cracking story and I feel privileged to share it with you.
Enjoy the chat. 🏊🏻♂️🧴🥇
