What a pleasure to introduce one of NZs best individual coaches, James Mortimer.
A former NZ track star, who competed in the 2006 Commonwealth Games, James is not coaching some of NZ brightest, and fastest athletes.
The current coach of NZ fastest ever female athlete, Zoe Hobbs, James is striving to win NZ first ever sprint medal at a Commonwealth or Olympic level.
I’ve often wondered how coaching individual athletes is different from coaching team sports. In this episode, we explore the differences and learn from each other's worlds. This was a great chat.
Ok, Let's go!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
