Author: Jeremy Snape July 31, 2025 Duration: 57:59

CEO of Swim England, Andy Salmon, joins Jeremy Snape for a candid conversation about transforming a troubled sporting organisation. In the wake of scandals involving bullying, body shaming, and safeguarding failures, Andy was brought in to reset Swim England’s culture and vision.

You’ll hear honest reflections on the scale of change required, the importance of owning past failures, and Andy’s journey to co-create new values and a vision with Swim England’s wide-ranging community. With insights from Professor Roger Steare on ethical culture, the episode explores how real change is built from both strong values and tangible, consistent behaviours.

What does it actually take to perform at the very highest level? That’s the question driving Inside the Mind of Champions, hosted by former England cricketer Jeremy Snape. For a decade, Jeremy has been on a global quest to decode the psychology of success, moving far beyond the cricket pitch. His conversations aren’t just with legendary athletes and coaches; he sits down with neuroscientists, special forces operatives, top-tier business leaders, and performing artists to find the common threads in their mental frameworks. Each episode of this podcast feels like a privileged access pass, where you’ll hear firsthand accounts of pressure, resilience, and the subtle thought patterns that separate the good from the truly great. You won’t just get inspirational stories-you’ll get tangible insights into decision-making, leadership under stress, and cultivating a mindset that thrives on challenge. Whether you’re an entrepreneur facing a critical pitch, a manager building a team, or simply curious about the inner workings of excellence, this series translates the principles of championship thinking into something you can apply. Jeremy’s unique background as both an international sportsman and a performance consultant allows him to ask the nuanced questions that reveal how these exceptional individuals consistently win, create, and lead.
