The Jake Dearden Podcast

In this episode, Bobby Rich joins us to discuss his journey through elite judo, narrowly missing the Olympics, and transitioning into performance coaching for world-class athletes and high-profile clients, including David Haye.

We explore the mindset behind elite performance, the realities of chasing success, sustainable training, recovery, nutrition and why biohacking might be far less important than getting the basics right.
