In this episode, Lachie sits down with Australian judo Olympian Josh Katz.
The boys dive into some hilarious stories from Josh’s upbringing, including what it was like growing up in a house with another elite judo fighter as his brother, and how that shaped his competitive mindset from a young age. He opens up about making his Olympic debut at just 18, the highs of representing Australia on the world stage, and the tough reality of missing qualification for the next Games.
Josh also shares the story behind his comeback journey leading into the 2024 Olympics, the resilience it took to get back to the top, and what kept him motivated through the setbacks. Plus, we get a behind-the-scenes look at the intense process of cutting weight before a fight, the physical and mental toll it takes, and how athletes manage it at the highest level.
An honest, funny and insightful chat about sacrifice, setbacks, and what it really takes to compete at the elite level!
Can't wait for you legends to hear this one.
