<v Speaker 1>right across Melbourne. It is Jace and Lauren Cleans here

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>from the newsroom as well, and we thought it'd be

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>good to get some athletes on before they head to

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.239

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>He's got a pro boxing record of three zero and

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>is an Olympic medalist. Off the air, Jace was saying

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 2>he can take him. So everyone, welcome to the show.

<v Speaker 3>It is the stupidest things hydraul like obviously Australian chewing

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 3>gum chewing gum suck. I don't know abou anyone else,

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 3>but I can't stand it.

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Really lush.

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I really need an extra extra, really get to being.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Really the extra.

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>What about I don't mind a bit of p k

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>oh No, what's.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 5>What's you go to gum?

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 4>Harry for grain? What is that?

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know what the favorite green pepper or the.

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 5>Green guy controversial?

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 5>Well, anyway back to the Olympics.

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>We're gunning for gold.

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 5>That's all you pack hyd.

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 3>And pretty much to boxings a central of course.

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 5>Have you got a pair of board shorts for European summer?

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 3>A k post Paris at least almost speeder a speedover?

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 3>You love the Tony Abbot speedo? Man, yeah, I do

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 3>love that.

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I bet you look very different than Tony Abbott and Speeder.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Twenty nine sleeps until the opening ceremony, Harry.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>That means you'll be shocked up at the athletes village, right.

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, mate, I'm very excited to get in there

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 3>and be around the other Aussies and it's pretty it's

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.839
<v Speaker 3>pretty exciting to be within a month now.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Because I was going to say that is that hard

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>boxing sort of a solo sport? Do you know what

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean? And then you're sort of going into like

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>this sharehouse situation. Is it hard to keep focused in

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>your mind right for the fight?

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting, I think. I think it's exciting. You have

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 3>this like thrill of being around other athletes and other

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 3>high performance, but of course it is absolutely distracting you

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 3>sort of. There's a lot of energy and a lot

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 3>of noise going on, but it's one of those things

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 3>like you just try and embrace it and enjoy it.

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, you're also got to like make sure you

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 3>take into account, like your performance is the most important thing,

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 3>so making sure you're packing like you bug.

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I mask know you're sharing a room, right,

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>You're not sharing surely?

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Now we share every usual or we did in Tokyo,

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 3>and I'm pretty sure it's true to a room in Paris.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Even on sweet or is it like a hostel situation

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 4>where you have to wear thongs in the shower because

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 4>so many people it's you.

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just assis in there, so it's not other.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 3>It's just not in other countries. But yeah, you'd be

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 3>sharing with Alban most likely sharing with other boxes. So

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I know the boxes pretty well. It's not too bad.

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:32.239
<v Speaker 3>They're like family, But it's it's the living conditions in there,

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Like you think it might be amazing, but it's it's

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 3>pretty stock standard sort of.

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 5>Stuff, pretty basic.

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Harry, preparation, Just be careful because it's twenty five

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 2>past eight and kids in carts and stuff. But have

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you done the bonk band thing again?

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 3>I have, mate, It's the first couple of weeks were

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 3>pretty challenging. I think. I'm like, I think it's like

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 3>week four, week five. Now it's been been a while,

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 3>so I'm sort of through it now, Like you're sort

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 3>of exhausted from training that you don't really think at

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 3>it too much. But I'm sure postal and bigs'll be

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 3>a bit of a bit of fun going on.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 5>Are you single? You figure a partner? Are you single?

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm a single man, But I think it might be

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>a pretty short performance after having a few.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Is that to heighten like testosterone levels?

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 5>Why there's actually a technical SI.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 3>There's all these stories. Apparently it's all made up. Apparently

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 3>there's a bit of a myths so you can get

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 3>studies on both sides that agree and then disagree. So

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm also doing it for just mind control. Like we

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 3>all have desires, we all want to like I'm cutting

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 3>out coffee in the moment. We all want to drink coffee.

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 3>We all want to go relieve ourselves and have some

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 3>fun by ourselves. But the more that I can, I

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 3>guess withstand that sort of stuff and restrain myself, I

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 3>think I just feel more powerful.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>That's weird because my wife's put me one.

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to I was about to say, maybe

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 4>I need to all training for the Olympics, the boxing.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:05:00.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I ain't going to Paris.

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 4>Harry, at what point do you start getting nervous or

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 4>do you not get nervous?

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I don't know. I definitely get nervous right now.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm nervous. There's like a whole cocktail of emotions that

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 3>you feel within a day, within a week, And I

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 3>think there's just like as athletes, you put a lot

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 3>of pressure on ourself and I love that, Like I

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 3>love the feeling of being in my body and feeling

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 3>nervous and also feeling extremely confident. It's exciting. I think

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I have just consistently my whole life chased things that

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 3>make me feel very alive, and I think chasing on

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 3>the gold medal has definitely made me feel very alive

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 3>in my life, and there's been many other things that

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 3>have helped me with that too.

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Harry, surely be a chance for the flag bearer, wouldn't it.

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so. Jess Fox is.

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kayaker now Harry Bronze in Tokyo which was twenty

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty or twenty twenty one because of COVID four years on,

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>you've visualized yourself winning gold. Tell the guys about what

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you do with visualization and why you do it.

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 3>So every morning I wake up, I meditate. I think

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 3>it's like a really good way to start the day.

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 3>You mean, it's the time of the day when my

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 3>brain is the quietest, which is also quite nice. And

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 3>then I spend ten minutes just visualizing myself and I

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 3>try and visualize things that I can control. I think

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>when people visualize, we often visualize things that are out

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 3>of our control, Like you're visualizing sometimes the color of

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 3>shorts your wearing, which is out of our control. But

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I can control what foot I use to step up

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 3>on the podium. I can control the action of how

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 3>I duck as someone puts the metal on my neck.

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 3>I can control those motions, but I can't control a

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of things, like the color that I'm wearing. I

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 3>can't control the hand that the referee lifts my hand with.

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't control that sort of stuff. So the things

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 3>that I can control, I try and visualize. And it's

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 3>really nice. There is some days that you can really

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 3>see those visuals in your brain. I think when you

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 3>feel really connected to it, you can really see it.

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 3>So it is nice. And yeah, yeah throughout the day

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 3>as well, I have about like ten alarms and go

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 3>off and have to try and do like a little

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 3>minute visualization of standing on top of the stadium. So

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 3>that's amazing.

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>So you can be in the line down at Combank

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and your alarm goes off and you're like you just

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.239
<v Speaker 1>sit there with your eyes closed and imagine the metal.

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you see me driving and my eyes are closed.

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>The alarms just go off.

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Harry, Harry love this show and we can't wait the

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>three of us and Melbourne because he's a boy from

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>he's a boy from the East Belgrave Harry.

<v Speaker 5>First week or second week billing pixel for two.

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Weeks he goes to old Time. That's pretty is exciting.

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Harry, can you be a favor? Can you can

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you make sure our boy Clint comes home in one piece.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's going to Paris too, Harry.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Of course, I just heard a couple of our good

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 3>mates Clint are coming over to that.

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Harry, if Clint gets in trouble, can he call you?

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 4>He sorted out than Clint try and do it himself.

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll probably be right.

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 5>Side. Good luck, we'll all be rooting for you.

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Have a safe flight and good luck for Paris.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 3>All right, thank you, guys, Go get him.

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 5>He's a great guy, isn't he.

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I love how focus to years as well. That's a

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>really good way thinking about it, things that you actually

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>have control over.

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 4>I love that he said his mind so still in
