The Dom Harvey Podcast

Cam Calkoen was born with cerebral palsy.  20 years ago the only thing that made him happy was watching the TV show "Havoc and Newsboy."  Cams mum wrote a letter to Newsboy (Jeremy Wells) and he replied.  Cam STILL has that letter pinned to his wall.  Hosted on Acast.

Cam Calkoen was born with Cerbral palsy.  This has made everything he has achieved that much more difficult than those of us born without the condition.  Even though he has done thousands of hours of public speaking, in this moment from our conversation he shares, for the first time ever, the lowest point of his life where he made a spontaneous decision to try and end it all.It's raw.  It's vulnerable.  It's not pretty.  But its 100% honest and unfiltered.  Warts and all.  Cam is an inspirational individual.  If you like this, please listen to our full conversation.  Or recommend it to a friend. Thanks,  Dom   Hosted on Acast.

Cam Calkoen is a motivational speaker, para-sprinter and mountain climber. He has achieved all this and much more despite being born with a condition called cerebral palsy. It’s a condition I knew very little about so I found it very educational to sit down with Cam. I really hope you guys get something out of this conversation too. If you would like to follow Cams journey on Instagram, this is his page: @Camcalkoen Massive thank you to my sponsors of this episode: Lifestream.co.nz Check out their awesome products.

99 year old coaching legend (and all round great New Zealander) Arch Jelley is joined by his 89 year old second wife in this short highlight episode.  They share the unromantic (yet still incredibly sweet) story about how they went from friends to life partners.If you enjoy this clip, feel free to listen to the whole exceptional episode with this inspirational Kiwi.   Hosted on Acast.

Arch (Archibald) Jelly was the career-long coach of John Walker, Olympic gold medalist and one of our best runners ever.I am so glad I got to meet Arch and now get to share this story with you.In this conversation you'll hear:What it was like living through the great depression of 1930 in Dunedin.His experiences inside submarines during WW2.The story of how he coached John Walker to be one of New Zealand’s greatest evert runners.The (rather unromantic) story of how he got with his second wife at the age of 80.His thoughts on getting a Telegram from the Queen when he turns 100 in August and much, much more.This is so much more than a running conversation- its a history lesson.  Arch is a war vet and his father fought (and survived) Gallipoli in the First World War.  So it seems fitting to release this episode on Monday April 25th, ANZAC day in NZ. PS:  Here is a link if you want to watch John Walkers incredible 1976 Olympic race at Montreal (Arch has some great memories of this which he freely shares):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq2rb7TMx14Massive thanks to the sponsors of this episode, Em’s Power Cookies:  Powercookies.com Hosted on Acast.

This snippet is for anyone who skipped Mondays episode with NZ cricket all rounder Jimmy Neesham or just hasn't got round to listening yet (maybe you intentionally didn't listen coz you don't like cricket LOL).High performance sport is mentally tough.  And cricket has got to be one of the most mentally taxing sports of them all.  In this very short clip, Jimmy talks about what he knows from experience that he needs to do to make sure he can keep himself mentally fit.  Hosted on Acast.

Jimmy Neesham is a New Zealand cricket legend who started running at the beginning of the pandemic. As you'd expect there is a fair bit of cricket chat in this conversation.  But we cover a tonne of other stuff too.  He's a fascinating guy and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Big love to my sponsors of this episode, Triumph & Disaster.   Hosted on Acast.

This snippet comes from Mondays conversation with Laura Nagel.  She is a track runner who is unbeaten on the track this year and holds the NZ titles for 1500, 3000 and 5000 metres.5 years ago a Doctor (not Dre or Phil- a real life medical doctor) told her a knee injury was a career ender (LOL).This is how she pushed through.  This clip includes a brilliant way to re-frame any sporting injury any of us may suffer.   Hosted on Acast.
