About this listen
2023 World Champion 🏆 and Olympic medalist Sam Short joins The Social Kick Podcast for a deep dive into what drives one of the world’s best distance swimmers.
Sam’s already redefining what it means to go the distance — from his brutal training sets that have become the stuff of legend, to the mental toughness it takes to dominate the 400 and 1500 on the world stage.
In this episode, Sam talks about:
-
The mindset that separates good from great in distance swimming
-
What it’s like chasing Australian icons like Grant Hackett and Ian Thorpe
-
His favorite (and toughest) workouts
-
Rivalries, rule changes, and the future of the sport
-
Life outside the pool — food, tattoos, and film obsessions
It’s an unfiltered look at a world champion’s world — equal parts grind, grit, and Aussie pride.
