The Unexpected Diagnosis that Changed EVERYTHING for Commonwealth Games Athlete, Amanda Bisk

Today’s episode marks the last in our series of interviews at Active Escapes Bali, where we have been sitting down and picking apart the brains of some of the BEST athletes in Australia. Through this journey, we have discovered key traits that ALL our interviewees have in common, and chat about their defining moments where they LEANED into the pain, and pushed through.

Our last, but not least interviewee is the incredible Amanda Bisk. Amanda is a professional pole-vaulter, she has represented Australia on multiple occasions, including at the Commonwealth Games in 2010. She is an exercise physiologist, a yoga instructor, and a pilates instructor AND owns the fitness app, Fresh Body Fit Mind.

Amanda walks us through getting an unexpected diagnosis that changed EVERYTHING, why she couldn’t bring herself to watch the 2012 Olympics and how she came back so brilliantly from rock bottom to absolutely NAIL her career.

This chat is moving, powerful and inspiring so make sure you take a listen!
