In this episode, I chat with Dr. Jo Larkin, a consultant in sport and exercise medicine. Jo discusses her unique journey, from wanting to become a doctor at a young age to working with elite athletes and serving as a medical consultant across various sports, including rugby and sailing.

Jo shares insights on injury management, rehabilitation, and optimising performance for athletes ranging from children to seniors. Her role involves a mix of treating injuries and offering preventative care. She emphasises the importance of adaptability, sharing anecdotes from her experiences with the England rugby team and as Global Medical Director for SailGP.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the diverse pathways in sports medicine and how Jo’s passion, determination, and willingness to step outside of conventional roles have shaped her impressive career.

Tune in to hear more about Jo’s journey, her career highlights, and her advice for those looking to enter sports medicine including the significance of learning from both positive and negative experiences to shape your career.

P.S. This episode was recorded a few months back, so some details might have changed, but the insights are timeless and the conversation is still as valuable and inspiring as ever. Enjoy listening!
