In this episode of the No BS Podcast, I sit down with Lee Johnston, a former Royal Marines Commando, 3x Winter Olympian, 12-time British Champion, and now international bobsleigh coach working with teams including Trinidad & Tobago.

We break down what it actually takes to perform at the highest level, from mindset under pressure to the discipline required to stay consistent over years, not weeks.

Lee shares lessons from elite sport, the military, and coaching that apply far beyond bobsleigh, whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone trying to perform better in everyday life.

This is a conversation about resilience, standards, and doing the basics exceptionally well.

• Why the start is everything in bobsleigh (and performance in general)
• How to build real mental resilience under pressure
• The difference between average, good, and elite performers
• Lessons from the Royal Marines mindset applied to sport
• Why discipline and consistency beat motivation every time
• How to overcome setbacks, physically and mentally
• What great coaching actually looks like
