Young Women On The Open Waters with Zoe Thomson

The Boat Princess Podcast

Zoe Thomson is a young Perth woman who has spent her life on, in and around the water. From the age of 7, Zoe took herself off to sailing school and fell in love with the ocean, the companions and the hot chips.

In this episode I chat to Zoe about her dream to compete at the Olympics in 2024. Her drive and determination runs deep with other achievements in International Titles taking out the Youth World Title a few years ago.

From this conversation you'll hear what it takes each day for a future champion to develop her Olympic Dream. With 2032 in Brisbane the home game is a big goal.

Her career is two fold with a degree in finance and is One to Watch.

Sailing will take her around the world, but her attitude is of a life long learner taking away the lessons losing a race delivers. Towards the end hear how Zoe deals with disappointment, her vulnerability is pure inspiration and demonstrated resilience.
