On behalf of our charity project Finnan's Gift, Oliver Camplin-Warner and I were honoured yesterday to provide our 12th gift to The Royal Children's Hospital, in memory of our first born son Finnan who died of a Congenital Heart Disease in 2011.

My #IWD2023 inspired goal!
I will #EmbraceEquity by asking others more often, "what are your thoughts and what matters to you", when participating in discussions. In doing so, I will actively lean into anyone in the room who maybe in a minority position…https://t.co/oolq34rPot
The Power of a Single Choice!
I loved that movie Sliding Doors growing up. The notion that life can go in very different directions, following a #choice, decision or random event that occurs in a single moment. It's funny how often we just let this happe…https://t.co/p2yvhKp0ja
There's been a few little celebrations in my world over the last few days! A big thanks to the Australian Olympic Committee for reminding me to celebrate another 21st birthday in my lifetime 🤣
An even bigger #thankyou to 'one and all' who helped my Oly…https://t.co/eASVXgY113
With the new year now underway, I've heard a lot of mixed reactions about "saying goodbye" to 2022. Some people were incredibly eager to put 2022 in the Covid-era bin and see the backend of it, and others felt uplifted by their 2022 journey and felt posi…https://t.co/sG9uoKoFke
Are you a "New year, New opportunities" kind of person OR a "New year, Same crap" person? What do you want to be???
I've always been excited about the blank canvas, the fresh start, and the possibilities and #opportunities that lie in the unknown tha…https://t.co/JnQAfaQNFF
From what I'm hearing, everyone is "exhausted", "overrun" and "freaking out" in the run up to Christmas. But it doesn't have to be that way - so I'm just sharing right now, that I AM REFUSING these options :)
Between organising…https://t.co/4sqpHOeRUT https://t.co/9gqRquboiY
When you're facing significant changes and still trying to keep all your existing 'balls in the air', you're effectively giving everything in your life the same level of importance. And when everything is important, then nothing tr…https://t.co/b0P4ARZ1Y4 https://t.co/ibdyxbtKoq
Change is inevitable. It’s a part of life that we cannot avoid. Yet, most people find change to be daunting and intimidating. I completely understand this, because humans crave certainty and change can mean losing something we know…https://t.co/no5f8Zs2KB https://t.co/i8QGlO0UZZ
I’ve often said, when giving a keynote speech, that I’m so glad my time in sport was so difficult, because that’s what helped prepare me for ‘real life’.
In sport, I battled through serious financial insecurity, endured lack of s…https://t.co/pbfdETtQcN https://t.co/HAlGuYPCDJ
When the Olympic Flame is extinguished at the Closing Ceremony of an Olympic Games, there are always mixed emotions. After 16 days of highs & lows and thrills & spills, the sudden realisation that 4, 8 or even 12 years of planning,…https://t.co/RIRxHTtcal https://t.co/e32qQVig1Y
What is your competitive edge? How do you differentiate yourself from the rest? This is a question that all Olympic Athletes, Coaches, Sports Psychologists, Medical Practitioners, Officials and Teams ask themselves. Is it your natu…https://t.co/CyJ9l8WRh0 https://t.co/AfmAp7CCi3
I’m often asked what it really feels like and what you are thinking, when you stand in the start gate at the Olympic Games, knowing that a medal is possible?
In reality, you try to think of nothing, you work hard to regulate your…https://t.co/nvQa2TIDiM https://t.co/QXF58DRFZt

It would be amiss for me to begin an Olympic reflections series, starting with anything other than preparation.
Anyone who knows me, or has seen my keynote speech, knows that planning is intrinsically entrenched in who I am as a h…https://t.co/cd9kkKW3C7 https://t.co/gmU9GJRcZ8
I’m back!
I’ve just returned from the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, currently sitting in return traveller hotel quarantine and reflecting on the last four weeks.
It was a month where human behaviour, high performance and resilience intersected on t…https://t.co/t2gOjMYIeW
