#48 - Pat Tiernan: Olympic Athlete

Patrick Tiernan is an Australian long-distance track and road runner. In addition to having won multiple road races in Australia, Tiernan represented Villanova in cross country and track. He also qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games and the 2020 Olympic Games and was the 2016 Men's DI National Cross Country champion. ...Most recently, Pat collapsed during the 10,000m event at the Tokyo Olympics, only to pick himself up and finish the race through force of will. It generated global attention and highlighted the true spirit of the Olympics. We discuss the psychological impact this had on him and how he dealt with it, along with taking a deep dive into his mindset and what it takes to perform at an elite level. ...You can learn more about Pat here: instagram.com/tiernan_pat...Thanks for listening!
