The Kiwi Physio Behind Noah Lyles & Jamaican Bobsledders – Dr Jo Brown

Dr Jo Brown is a low key legend, a Kiwi who has reached the top of her field on the global stage.

She has been the physiotherapist and performance coach for some of the biggest sports names on the planet, including Noah Lyles, Yohan Blake and Megan Tapper, NBA players, Professional football players, Australian Olympic teams and even the Jamaican bobsled team (Cool Runnings 2).

One thing that was consistent with the track n field stars she worked with is that Jo was the last person everyone wanted to see before they went out on track. She has this gift, where she holds space, has their back and instills belief in people.

In this episode we talk about being 'more than a physio', self awareness, the truth about high performance athletes, working with Noah Lyles and Jamaica's best sprinters and tall poppy syndrome in NZ.

Dr. Jo also tragically lost her sister a few years ago when she was trying to save her children at a beach in Hawkes Bay. The children survived, but jo's sister, Amy, tragically drowned and we address how she got through her most difficult moments.

She recently released the book "See Your Elephant". It goes deep into the blind spots, limiting beliefs and handbrakes that hold people back in life.

We're also super stoked to have Dr. Jo on the books of B2B Speakers, so if you’d like her to share her story at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz.
