#279: Mike Schofield-Sports Performance/Throws Coach (New Zealand)

🎙️ "Right on the Edge of Disaster" with Mike Schofield, Olympic Throws Coach


In this episode of the Gill Athletics Connections podcast, we travel to New Zealand to chat with Mike Schofield, the man behind Maddison-Lee Wesche’s journey to a silver medal in shot put at the Paris 2024 Olympics 🥈. Mike shares his unique coaching philosophy, forged from his non-traditional path into athletics after a start in golf. He opens up about the lessons learned in performance development, and how curiosity and pushing boundaries shape his coaching style.


Mike talks about the importance of being comfortable with failure in the pursuit of excellence, offering insight through his powerful quote: "Right on the edge of disaster is where exceptional happens." 🏅


Join us as we explore his journey from weightlifting and strength coaching to guiding one of the world’s top athletes in track and field! 🌍 #ThrowsCoach #TrackAndField #OlympicJourney #CoachingWisdom
