Price You Pay Podcast | Season 1 Episode 1

Join us for an inspiring episode of The Price You Pay as we sit down with retired athlete, author, and inspirational speaker Natalie Cook. With a career spanning five Olympic Games and a gold medal win, Natalie's journey is nothing short of remarkable. Her podcast delves into the financial challenges athletes face to pursue their dreams, shedding light on the sacrifices and determination that drive them.

Natalie's mission stems from her own experiences, where she realized the immense financial burden that can hinder an athlete's path to success. She aims to make a difference by supporting young athletes through her Green & Gold Athletes Australia program, which offsets the costs of competing at the highest level.

We'll also discuss the critical importance of recognizing athletes' true value in major world events like the Olympics. Tune in to be inspired and discover why Natalie is passionately dedicated to helping the next generation of athletes overcome financial obstacles and achieve their dreams.

In this conversation, Chatta-Box Media’s Sarah Maxwell and Natalie discuss:

• The pivotal moment in her childhood when she realized the financial challenges of pursuing her Olympic dreams and how that experience drives her mission to support young athletes.
• Unique skills and perspectives she brings to the conversation, and the one area of struggle in her own career that she wishes to change for up-and-coming athletes.
• Her perspective on the importance of financial support for athletes, particularly in light of its impact on their resilience and performance and why athletes play a crucial role in major world events like the Olympics and how we can better recognize their true value.
• The audience she envisions for her podcast and the actions she hopes they'll take after being moved and inspired by these compelling and honest stories.
