Katie Boulter - "Excellence is perseverance in disguise"

Season 2, Episode 4,   Jun 28, 2021, 12:00 AM

This week on Monday Mile we link up with Katie Boulter. It's Wimbledon week and Summer is well and truly here, which also means so is one of my favourite sports to watch, Tennis! It’s back and it’s grasscourt time. Strawberries and cream, Henman Hill/Murray Mound, Camping and "the queue", even Centre Court - it doesn’t matter how you do it, it's such a fast moving and exciting sport to watch.

My guest this week is part of the next generation of female Brits dominating the sport in the UK, she’s competed at Grand Slams at all over the World, we chat resilience, what it takes to perform with the World's very best, beating Coco Gauff in Australia, and giving Naomi Osaka a strong run. What you may not know about Katie, is her love for football, a true Leicester supporter, and of course we chat all things tennis and how she warms up on the Court.  Katie, The Monday Mile squad are rooting for you all the way this week at Wimbledon. 

Former Team GB double winter Olympian Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week. 

Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’ 

Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. 

Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 20/25 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
