Welcome to a very special episode of Campbells and Co. Bronte officially announces her retirement from swimming.

She leaves the sport as one of the greats. Four Olympics, three Olympic gold medals and multiple world records. But her legacy is so much greater than the achievements in the pool. She was an integral member of the Athlete Leadership Group, President of the Australian Swimmers Association and helped implement swimming's first pregnancy policy.

Cate and Bronte reminisce about her time in the sport - the highs and the lows. Bronte shares how she came to the decision and what she plans to do next and why the best years of her life are still to come.

We hope you enjoy this very special episode of Campbells and Co.

Join Bronte and Cate as they tease an exciting, exclusive episode dropping on Sunday June 7th!

This week on the podcast Cate and Bronte have a little chuckle at the absolute flop that was the Enhanced Games. Bronte reckons she could jump in the pool now, busted ACL and all and still swim faster than the 4th place getter in the women’s 100m freestyle.

The main topic this week is around parenting elite athletes. It’s rare to have one Olympian in a family - let alone two. So what did Mr and Mrs Campbell do to instill excellence, dedication and perseverance in their children? The answer might surprise you.

If you like the show, be sure to send it to a friend or family member.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co.

It’s a rough old dating world out there - but it can be even more tricky to date as an elite athlete. There is the sports bubble, the restrictive lifestyle, the all-encompassing nature of pursuing an Olympic dream, traveling for months at a time and not having a ‘normal’ work schedule.

Cate and Bronte share their own experiences with dating and bust a few myths along the way.

If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend (or partner).

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co.

If there is one question we get asked most often, it’s how do you manage sibling rivalry? Over the years we have given many different answers to this question. There is the polite ‘it was always a shared dream, so it’s great to do it together’. There is the almost true ‘if I can’t win, I at least want my sister to win’.

While neither of these answers are wrong, they do not fully explore and elaborate on the complexities of competing with and against your sister on the world’s biggest stage for over a decade.

Cate and Bronte share their tips for any siblings or parents struggling with this - because while competing at an Olympic Games against your sister is rare, the notion of sibling rivalry is commonplace in many households around Australia (and the world).

If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your sibling (or maybe parent).

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co.

This episode Cate and Bronte chat about the marathon world record. Kenyan Sebastian Sawe crossed the London marathon finish line in a staggering 1:59.30 - that’s an average running speed of 21km/h. .

However, that was not the only extraordinary feat that race. Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha was only 11 second behind Sawe, running 1:59.41 in his London marathon debut.

After the race, Sebastian Sawe was pictured holding up his shoes - which caused controversy when they were first released as critics claim it gave runners too much of a boost.

It raises the question, with not one but two men breaking the two hour barrier for the first time in an official race, was it the shoe technology that led to this feat? Or was the 2 hour marathon barrier a psychological barrier that once crossed, opens the door for others to follow?

Let us know, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells & Co! We have had a 2 week break for the Easter week and to allow Bronte to recover from ACL surgery, but it’s good to be back!

In keeping with the injury theme, this week Campbells & Co delve into injury management. Injuries don’t just take a physical toll, there is a huge psychological toll as well. Bronte shares her story of a long term shoulder injury. Since sustaining the injury in 1026 - just months before the Rio Olympic Games - she has gone on to win Olympic gold medals and world championship titles. She shares her knowledge and insight into long-term injury management.

Cate shares the story of acute injury management. She woke up on the morning of the 100m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics unable to turn her head. She and her team worked frantically over the next 12 hours to get her behind the starting blocks.

Navigating injuries can break you down physically and mentally, so sending live to anyone out there struggling with it. We hope this episode gave you some practical tips and made you feel less alone..
