    2025/10/20
    In this episode, Martin and Matt sit down with one of the Isle of Man’s most exciting young athletes, Regan Corrin, joined by his strength and conditioning coach, Ben Carling. Regan shares his journey from kicking a football at age four to becoming the first Manx athlete to break the seven-metre barrier in the long jump, setting a new Isle of Man record of 7.31 m. He also talks about his national championship win, Great Britain call-up, and his growing passion for both long jump and high jump. Together with Ben, they explore what it takes to compete at the top level — from mastering technique and mindset to understanding the difference between speed jumpers and power jumpers, and how subtle factors like track surface, wind conditions, and confidence can make or break a jump. The conversation also dives into: • The science behind explosive performance and tendon strength. • How modern strength and conditioning compares to the brutal training regimes of past generations. • Regan’s reflections on balancing confidence, discipline, and resilience as a young athlete on the rise. It’s an inspiring and technical look into the world of athletics — full of insights on mindset, marginal gains, and the pursuit of excellence.
