Chad le Clos: The Person Behind the Performance

What does it really take to perform at the highest level — and what happens beyond the medals, records and podiums?

In this episode of the SASMA Podcast, Dr Kyle Winik sits down with Olympic champion Chad le Clos for an open and personal conversation about the journey behind elite performance. They explore the pressures of high-performance sport, identity beyond competition, mental health, setbacks and resilience, the importance of the people and medical teams surrounding an athlete, and the lessons Chad has learned through an extraordinary career.

A conversation about swimming, certainly — but even more importantly, about the person behind the performance.
