How Hamish Kerr Became the Best High Jumper in the World

Hamish Kerr was a guest on the podcast three years ago. Back then he had just won a commonwealth games gold medal and the podcast was still called “Runners Only.”

A lot has happened since then. Hamish Kerr is now the undisputed best high jumper on the planet- you name it, he has won it. Olympic Gold, Commonwealth Gold, World champion, Diamond league champion, Halberg sportsman of the year...

In this episode, Hamish opens up about the Paris Olympics- why he was in tears on the track in the packed stadium before going on to win gold.

How life has changed since becoming the best in the world.

How he overcame self-doubt and pressure.

And why he thinks he can still be better.

This episode goes beyond sport. It’s a deeply human look at the mindset of one of New Zealand’s most successful athletes.

Strap yourself in. This episode is one hell of a ride!

Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.

If I could ask you to do one big favour — for me and for yourself — it would be to consider getting KiwiSaver advice from Generate, like I did.

The decisions you make with your KiwiSaver now could have a big impact on how much you have to live on in retirement. And if you’ve never had KiwiSaver advice before, you could be missing out.

Generate has a strong track record of long-term performance — You can check out their latest returns on their website.

They also have advisers who can come to you and help you figure out the right KiwiSaver setup for your goals — no pressure, just good advice.

I met with one when Generate came on board as a sponsor back in 2023 — and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner.
