The Risk Equation

Football Commentator Simon Hill

Millions of people watching, hanging on your every word. What you say next will be played countless times, acting as a moment in history for your country and the world. Simon Hill has faced these moments hundreds of times before, commentating World Cups, Champions Leagues and Asian Cups, acting as the voice of Australian Soccer for more than 20 years. 

You’ll know him from Aloisi’s penalty or Tim Cahill’s goal in Kaiserslautern. He’s recognised and celebrated as one of the country’s great media personalities and is cherished by Australian sports culture.

On this week’s episode of The Risk Equation, Dr Chris Maguire explores how Simon overcame his greatest failure, what gave him the edge in those high pressure moments and how he is channelling experiences from 20 years ago to overcome challenges he faces today.

Australian Diver Sam Fricker

How does an Olympic diver do what they do? What does it take to leap, twist, contort and land with perfection in a matter milliseconds? On this episode of The Risk Equation, Sam Fricker, an Australian diver, aims to give us an insight.

The Risk Equation is a weekly podcast hosted by paediatric surgical registrar Dr Chris Maguire. The show is a construction of conversations between Chris and those working in high risk, high pressure and high performance jobs, offering a refreshingly raw and human insight into how those taking on incomprehensible challenge do what they do.
