From The Chaplain

If you are like me, I have found myself distracted by the Olympics for the past few weeks, watching sports that I had no idea about (team air pistoling and speed climbing come to mind). I also followed the success of SCEGGS Old Girl, Sienna Green, as she gave it her all for the Stingers Women’s Water Polo Team. What a great achievement! I haven’t been able to land a scoop with her yet for the podcast. As we continue in the Olympic spirit, I thought I would replay the conversation with another SCEGGS Olympian, Marina Carrier, that was recorded last year.

The SCEGGS Podcast “Walk The Mile” Revisited: Episode 33 The Olympic Dream with Marina Carrier

The journey of a full-time athlete can be a unique and bumpy experience in the effort to succeed at their given sport. This episode is a conversation with Marina Carrier, an Old Girl from the Class of 2014, who has represented Australia in the Modern Pentathlon in the Olympics. She talks about her years devoted to the sport, the things she learnt, the highs and the lows. We also discuss what its like to face retirement in her twenties. A very insightful and interesting discussion that I hope you enjoy.  

And a reminder that we are published on Spotify, Apple, Google Podcast and Deezer, so you can access it easier from your preferred device. I always welcome your feedback or any ideas you may have for further episodes. You will find each podcast as they are produced in this newsletter and on the other platforms as well as our website.
