We’re flipping the script! In this special episode of the High Performance Human Podcast, Simon hands over the reins to co-host (and wife) Beth, who takes her first turn in the host's chair — and puts Simon firmly in the hot seat.
With zero preparation and no idea what’s coming, Simon fields Beth’s awkward, cheeky, and insightful questions. They dive into:
- What it’s really like coaching your spouse
- The challenge of balancing coach/athlete dynamics with a relationship
- When a coach needs to hold an athlete back — not push them harder
- Whether Simon ever secretly wants to fire his athletes
- What race Beth should do next (and what she'd never do)
- Could Beth ever beat Simon in a race?
- The dream Beth-designed training camp (spoiler: there’s coffee, horses, and plenty of naps)
Plus… a few surprises, some laughs, and the birth of a new regular feature — Beth’s Awkward Question of the Week.
