Episode 33: Athlete Feature - Seth O'Donnell, SSPC Physio & Elite Middle Distance Runner

from The Perform Prevent Recover Podcast · host performpreventrecover

In this episode we get to speak to Seth O'Donnell about his incredible past 12 months, culminating in selection for the Australian team for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Seth chats to fellow SSPC physio, friend, and mentor Rob O'Donnell about not only this past year, but also his rapid rise to elite middle distance running over the past 5 years. There is no doubt that Seth is not your traditional athlete, and he has some very strong thoughts and beliefs that have underpinned his training and competition. This is a great episode where you hear some honest thoughts from a person who only recently was more hopeful of being recruited by the Hawks in the AFL but found his way, through natural talent and hard training, into the elite world of middle distance running.
