Summary
“When I've had great performances and won medals and won Olympic Trials, I'm very satisfied in that moment, but I'm always just thinking that I can get better and do better. I'm a bit of a hardass where I want to keep working… I get so much confidence and joy and pride from my work that it’s a no-brainer.”
Emma Coburn, 2x Olympic medalist and 2017 World champion, joins the show to update us on returning to training with Team Boss post-surgery, what keeps her motivated at this stage in her career, her dynamic with her husband + coach Joe Bosshard, her love for Taylor Swift, and lots more. Hear more from Emma Coburn in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
