The Physical Performance Show: Commonwealth Games Preview Episode
Episode 104: Commonwealth Games Preview Episode
Episode 104 is a special Commonwealth games preview episode. The Commonwealth Games 2018 are happening this week (April 2018) and what better way to usher in the Commonwealth Games then to speak to the many athletes that will be competing over the next two weeks.
Over the last several months Brad Beer has taken the opportunity to catch up with several of the athletes who will be competing amongst the six thousand athletes at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. During the episode we discuss what it is they have been focusing on during training, what it is that they are excited about with the Commonwealth Games and also what’s left to do in their final preparations. We hear from some previous guests of the Physical Performance Show in terms of athletes and we also have a couple of fresh voices in the mix also. Tune in now to this inspiring episode.
