#265 - Mack Horton - Gold Medals, Olympics & the Famous Protest

Mack Horton is an Olympic Gold Medalist, World Championships Gold Medalist & 4 x Commonwealth Games Medalist. He has recently announced his retirement from professional swimming.

It's not every day you get to sit down with an Olympic Gold medalist and get an unbelievable view inside the mindset and crazy lifestyle of a professional swimmer.

Mack is about to share with you the incredible highs and the scary lows of the sport and what it takes to reach the top.

You'll hear everything from coaching sprays, diet, training and mindset, to what it's like to work together as a team when competing for only one place on the podium.

Mack re-lives his 2016 Rio Olympic Gold Medal and takes us behind the scenes of the famous day. Plus, how his life changed after that.

But almost more famous than the Gold, was the podium protest Mack did in response to Sun Yang & the Chinese Swim team.

We watch the footage and go behind the scenes of what really happened including hundreds of thousands of threats, hate messages and even people breaking into his home and filling his swimming pool with broken glass.

Mack shares his true thoughts on Enhanced Games and how he believes cheating can be stamped out of the sport...he doesn't hold back.

This is an incredible episode and the insight is insane.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the Olympic Gold Medalist and Golden Boy of Aussie Swimming, Mack Horton!
