Not content with telling fascinating stories, Belgium's Dumont and America's Courtney also give listeners practical tips they can take into the real world. Here's everything you need to know:

- In Episode 15, two-time Dakar bike champion Sunderland reveals how he manages to find his sweet spot to perform at his best.

- The 33-year-old explains, "I want to be on point, and I think the only way to achieve that is to get into a state of calm. If I'm too excited, my performance drops, if I'm not excited enough, my performance drops. I have to find a middle ground."

- In Episode 14, pioneering pilot Costa reports on the world's longest underground flight in Istanbul, which he completed in September 2021. The historic 44-second flight through two tunnels pushed him to push his limits and go far beyond his comfort zone. He comments, "When you're part of something pioneering, your mindset has to change completely. Where before you followed rules, now you have to help create rules."

- In Episode 13, Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal and CEO Horner shares his philosophy on the importance of intrinsic motivation. He reveals, "I've always believed that if you enjoy something, you can do it much better. So it's not just about it being a job, it has to be a passion, it has to be a desire, and there has to be a hunger and a determination to want to succeed."

- In Episode 12, Italian Cozzolino addresses a simple message to his fans and his community back home, "Never stop dreaming," revealing that what may seem like a throwaway motivational quote is an attitude that has taken him from the small African island of Cape Verde to becoming a five-time world champion kitesurfer.

- In Episode 11, Qatar's Barshim talks about his Olympic and world success, but it wasn't all plain sailing as the 31-year-old recounts how the roar of the crowd turned to silence when he touched down with his left foot during a 2018 competition in Hungary and a doctor told him his chance of ever jumping back to elite level could be as low as one percent.

- In Episode 10, Fioravanti describes how he makes decisions on the water at World Surf League competitions, how he thinks when traveling to new destinations, and how he reacts when he's in the middle of a massive wave. He reveals, "You have to put yourself in those situations many times before you're sure you're not going to get frustrated and make bad decisions because you're acting on your gut."

- In Episode Nine, speed queen Vonn explains how she overcame many serious injuries that demanded all her stamina and mental strength.

- In episode eight, Kleveland shares how listening to music has helped him perform under pressure. The 23-year-old reveals, "When I'm under pressure, I feel like I always perform better. Right now, the level of snowboarding is insane. I'm scared every single day. You just have to convince yourself that you can do anything."

- In Episode 7, Gómez talks about how he was loved by everyone and hated by fans, and how he could only silence the negativity by accepting that perfection is impossible and failures are as much a part of everyone's success story as moments of glory.

- In episode six, racer Courtney explains how she adopts a mantra that helps her focus on each race. She reveals her "Accept and Commit" mantra: "That persistent mindset of just taking it day by day, day by day, day by day, dedicating yourself to what it takes to take those small steps, I would say has been my biggest strength in my career."

- In episode five, French surfer Dupont admits to being nervous when waiting for a big wave. It's a technique she learned to be more connected to her senses. She says, "I can feel the temperature of the water. I can taste the salty flavor. I can see the color of the waves and hear the birds. I just focus on being in the moment."

- In episode four, England cricket captain Stokes reveals how talking about his weaknesses has shaped his career as a leader. He says, "I am what I am. I'm just me. People will love me, people will hate me, but at least I'm confident that I'm giving the best of myself and not trying to meet anyone else's expectations."

- In episode three, Olympic pole vault champion and world record holder Duplantis explains how he developed a growth mindset. He reveals, "There are just endless ways to improve in every single little aspect of what I do. And if I can improve my mental toughness just by those small amounts, it makes huge differences."

- In episode two, 2023 Australian Open finalist Tsitsipas describes how to find your flow state and perform at your best. He reveals, "Everything makes sense. You're not playing with your skill anymore, you're playing with your soul."

- In episode one, English Ironman 70.3 World Champion Charles Barclay reveals how she finds and maintains a high level of motivation. She says, "When I injured myself earlier this year, everyone said, 'She'll never be as good as she used to be...' and sure enough, all that outside noise... It just motivated me."

- California co-host Courtney is perfect to talk about these topics after becoming the first American woman in nearly two decades to win a mountain bike world cross-country (XCO) title in 2018.

- The UCI MTB World Cup winner and 2019 Olympian is also a graduate of Stanford University with a degree in human biology, as well as a speaker and author who has been published in the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal.

- BASE jumper and skydiver Dumont revealed, "Developing your own mental attitude is easy to understand, but very difficult to implement. Mind Set Win is designed to help people gain the confidence and courage to take action. I believe that everyone can become better at what they do".

- Early in his long, successful career, the 50-year-old was so fascinated with how to improve his own resilience and mental toughness that he earned a degree in high-performance psychology.

- He added, "We tend to mystify high achievers and think they are not like us, but sometimes they too have self-doubt, hesitation, fear, stress, anxiety and lack of confidence. However, they will take action to get closer to their dreams, and that is something we can learn."
