Episode Synopsis

On today's show the team chat with Australian sporting royalty Layne Beachley - 7 x World Surfing Champion and the only surfer male or female to win six consecutive world titles about her latest book launched this week - Awake Academy - Know yourself, grow yourself and live a happier, more purposeful life. Layne's aim is to normalise mental health struggles, share the message that “Life is an endless wave. You can’t control the waves but you can learn to surf”, and that the opposite of burnout is a happier, more purposeful life where you can thrive when times are tough
Professor Andre La Gerche, Head of Heart Exercise and Research Trials (HEART) Lab, St Vincent’s Institute of Medical Research and sports cardiologist, joins The Performance Hour to talk about the latest research into heart health in athletes. A key message is community sport should have a defibrillator on hand at all times!
