Phenomenal Grit: Cate Campbell

An exclusive 4-part podcast series.

Welcome to ‘Phenomenal Grit: Cate Campbell’, a special four-part podcast series exploring some exciting conversations between our host, Ryan Smith, Quest’s Group Marketing and Communications Manager, and the extraordinary four-time Australian Olympian, world-record holder and current Quest Ambassador, OAM Cate Campbell.


Across the four episodes, Cate leans into her experience as one of the most decorated and successful Australian Olympic swimmers to explore the secrets of individual and team success, incremental improvement, staying motivated, and pursuing an optimal performance state. Cate also personally drafted four articles you find accompanying each interview.


Each episode and article pull invaluable insights, practical advice and wisdom from Cate’s unique perspective and leaves listeners and readers with a refreshing take on approaching goals, life, and one’s overall well-being. Both charismatic and relatable, Cate delivers a hearty dose of the character, spirit, and mindset that has fuelled her phenomenal journey as a leader both in and out of the pool.


Whether you’re an athlete with Olympic dreams, a professional aiming for the top, or an individual seeking personal growth, this four-part series gives you an inside look at how one of Australia’s most phenomenally gritty individuals strives for excellence — millisecond by millisecond.

“If we want to continually improve, or get the best out of ourselves, we need to shift our focus from outcome to best execution and what that looks like on the day and recognising that can be different on different days.”
