Join host Pete Hunt as he sits down with Freddie Carr, a six-time America’s Cup competitor and winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup in 20224. Freddie opens up about his incredible career, the transition from elite-level sport to life beyond the Cup, and the invaluable lessons he’s learned along the way.
Pete and Freddie discuss:
- Navigating life after high-performance sport – the challenges of stepping away from an elite team environment.
- The mental and physical toll of competitive sailing – from extreme training regimens to the exhaustion that follows.
- The evolution of the America’s Cup – how the sport has transitioned from traditional sailing to high-speed, high-tech foiling machines.
- The role of leadership and team culture – the importance of communication, camaraderie, and “checking the ropes” with teammates.
- The impact of loss in high-risk sports – reflecting on the tragic passing of Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson and its lasting effect on the sailing community.
- What’s next for Freddie – from exploring opportunities in business to rediscovering his love for traditional sailing.
This episode is packed with insights on resilience, leadership, and the mental side of elite competition. Tune in for an honest and engaging conversation that goes beyond the racecourse.
