Summary
Hello all you Private Parters, welcome back to the podcast where nothing is off limits!
To celebrate getting through the first week of January, we're back with another fantastic guest. Today, Jamie is joined by a man whose grace and strength on the gymnastics mat have captivated audiences worldwide. He is Team GB's most successful gymnast ever and 6x Olympic champion... it's Max Whitlock OBE.
In a completely unfiltered chat, Max chats to Jamie all about his gymnastics journey, from how he got into gymnastics to dedicating his life to the sport and exactly how it feels to compete at the Olympics. He also candidly discusses his struggles with comparison, pressure and fear of failure, which led him to nearly retire from the sport he loves. Plus, he reveals how he is preparing for the Paris 2024 Olympic games.
