Our Interviews With 5 Time World Champion Simon Lessing And Coach Matt Koorey

We've just released episodes 10 and 11 of the Swim Smooth Podcast; both are absolute crackers:

Taking top billing is our raw, lengthy (2h 45m!) and insightful interview with Simon Lessing, 5-time ITU World Triathlon Champion and SS Head Coach Paul Newsome's former training partner.

This in-depth chat has been over 18 years in the making as we get down and dirty for a never heard before candid and soul searching discussion of all things life, racing and training.

Many triathletes rate Simon as the greatest of all time and it's been over a decade since he gave his last audio interview, so be ready for something really special!

Then we speak with Coach Matt Koorey about all things swim and triathlon coaching, starting with a deep-dive into the anxieties and phobias many of us have around swimming in the open water but are often too embarrassed to admit to and talk about.

Recorded on Australia Day, this is the perfect discussion with the perfect Australian coach who was inspired by his own father, John Koorey - the first Australian male to swim across the English Channel in 1969 in the brilliant time of 10h 32m.

Working with Matt Koorey isn't a quick fix, it's about consistency and commitment for long-term gain. It won't be easy. He demands focus. He demands excellence. There is no hand-holding. No sugar coating.

Matt spent several years being mentored by Brett Sutton (arguably the most decorated coach in triathlon history with athletes such as Chrissie Wellington, Nicola Spirig and Daniela Ryf to his name). Matt's thirst for knowledge and improving himself as a coach, athlete, Dad and husband come pouring out of this interview, so we really hope you enjoy!
