Ep #221 - Lisa Curry AO - Australia's sweetheart in and out of the pool! (Sport)

I was recently joined for a very special Legends With Bevo live
on Facebook by the human juggernaut of getting it all done and
cheering on the green and gold, Lisa Curry AO MBE. Married to
Australia’s most well-known Elvis Presley impersonator, Mark
Tabone, the face of online wellness, Happy Healthy You,
motivational speaker, author, lover of chocolate, mother of
Australian Ironman, Jett Kenny, grandmother of three and keeper
of all the Olympic village stories, Lisa Curry AO MBE is nothing
short of a legend in Australian sport and constant fixture of
swimming for over forty years. Between her fangirl moments
watching the Paris 2024 Olympics, Lisa reflects on her journey as
an elite athlete. Starting in swimming as a twelve-year-old and
ending in the late 90’s as a surf boat rower. Lisa reveals the
obstacles life has thrown at her and some of the skills she has
honed to overcome adversity. Starting with her paying no
attention to the naysayers, what it took to make a return to
professional swimming as a thirty-year-old mother of two young
children to her current battle getting into shape after surgery.
Lisa looks at our changing attitudes on sportsmanship, the joy of
watching competition and poses the question, do you have to win a
medal to be a champion?Thanks so much to Lisa for giving up his
time and to the team at PodBooth for putting this great video
together.Thanks also to the Southern Slugs Football Club for
their amazing support over the past couple of years, check out
their Facebook page for exciting upcoming overseas tours in
Croatia and Phuket.Finally thanks also to our newest sponsor,
Woodville Warriors District Basketball Club for offering to jump
on board as a partner. If you are looking for a great junior or
senior club to play basketball then head to their Facebook page
or website. You won't meet a better bunch of people!
