EP46: Me to We: 🇸🇦 Next Gen Saudi Sports Leader, Jeddah Tribe’s Jude Jamjoon on how triathlon helped her find her tribe
Listen now
Description
Today’s guest is one of the next generation of Saudi Arabian sports leaders.  Jude Jamjoon is the Co-Founder and President of Jeddah Tribe and to call this a Tri Club, would be accurate but it would miss the fact that it is also an event series and really at its core, a robust community that offers training, mentorship, support & encouragement for triathletes of all levels, including those who are yet to become triathletes.  This episode is about the power of community or tribe as it were. As you'll hear, Jude shares with us her own story of triathlon - which remarkably started in 2018 -  and how she was supported by a tribe of people that included her family, friends and sometimes surprisingly, complete strangers.  Since recording this episode, Jude was recognised with a 2023 World Triathlon Women’s Committee Award of Excellence.  We’re sharing some links so you too, can check out further info on Jeddah Tribe and Triathlon in Saudi Arabia, as well as some of our former podcast guests mentioned in this episode.  More info & links: 🏃🏾‍♀️ Jeddah Tribe including their race calendar: https://jeddahtribe.com and on Instagram @jeddahtribe🏊🏼‍♀️ The Saudi Triathlon Federation: https://www.triathlon.sa🏆 For more information on Jude’s World Triathlon Award of Excellence, click here 🎽 Chairman of Saudi Triathlon Federation, Ali Magboul in Episode 40a of The Mettleset Podcast 🚴🏽‍♀️ Triathlon Trailblazer Dr Dina AlTayeb in Episode 15 of The Mettleset Podcast  If you've been enjoying our content and finding value in our discussions, please take a quick moment to show your support.
