In this episode of Ballers Brew, we sit down with South African high jumper and national champion Breyton Poole. From WorldU18 champion to senior national gold medallist, Breyton reflects on the journey behind sustained progression in elite athletics.   We unpack what it takes to perform under pressure, navigate the transition from junior success to the senior stage, and maintain belief through the less visible phases of development. Breyton shares his perspective on discipline, identity, and the standards required to compete internationally.  Whether you’re building toward your next level or refining your approach to performance, this episode offers an honest look atgrowth, consistency, and competing with intent.   🎧 SUBSCRIBE to the Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeiVxYEHDi0KS2Lec1x8htw⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow for bonus clips & BTS: • Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ballersbrew⁠⁠⁠ • Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/ballersbrew⁠⁠⁠ • LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/ballersbrew Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 03:00 – Taking Flight 07:00 – Against All Odds 10:00 – Thriving Under Pressure 14:00 – Senior National Gold 18:00 – Advice for the Next Generation 22:00 – Brew Break 25:00 – Proving Them Right 28:00 – What I’d Tell My Younger Self 30:00 – Purpose and Motivation 36:00 – Final Reflections #BallersBrew #SportsPodcast #HighPerformace #AthleteMindset #WorldAthletics  Audio Credit: "I'm Ready" - AJR YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2dJxFIV28Y⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ajrbrothers
