How to create an Olympic champion * Jack Maitland part 2

Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast

Today we have the 2nd part of my conversation with Jack Maitland. Last week we talked about Jack's journey from orienteer to mountain runner to elite triathlete and then into coaching. We talked about our work together, his work in Leeds and then the development work with Alistair & Jonathan Brownlee finishing at the end of 2011 when Alistair was a favourite for Olympic Gold at the London 2012 Triathlon. Today we talk about the lead up to that event, the 4 year cycle up to Rio 2016, what happened when Jack moved on from the Leeds performance Centre, and the start of a collaboration with Beth Potter.

• Never assume anything
• The stress of the 4 year Olympic cycle
• More success in Rio 2016
• 2017 - revolving doors in Leeds
• It takes time to build a champion - the 7 year journey with Beth Potter
• The importance of yoga
