Each episode will provide a platform for Para-athletes to tell the story of their sporting life, showcase their personalities and tackle subjects that are close to their hearts and of interest to fans. 

Issues to be explored include activism, leadership, motivation, changing attitudes, overcoming failure, mental health, resilience, diversity and inclusion.

As part of a partnership between the IPC and financial services company Allianz, the podcast will be available on all major podcast platforms and is set to run as an initial series of 20 episodes until early 2021. 

The first show will debut tomorrow and features Britain’s two-time Paralympic 100 metre champion Jonnie Peacock.

Tatyana McFadden, the United States's eight-time Paralympic champion in wheelchair racing, is due to appear on the show on September 4. 

The podcast series is being produced by content agency LiveWire Sport, which has worked with the IPC since 2018, and presented by British broadcaster Andy Stevenson. 

"We wanted to make a podcast that moves beyond sport and can offer self-improvement and confidence building," IPC chief brand and communications officer Craig Spence said.

"As well as their sporting achievements, Paralympic athletes have outstanding stories of resilience, tackling difficult situations and positivity. 

"We also believe their stories are stronger and more meaningful than ever due to the heightened anxiety around the COVID-19 pandemic. 

"Without doubt they will shine a light on the issues facing persons with disabilities and help transform the narrative around disability.

"The support of Allianz has been essential in developing A Winning Mindset: Lessons From The Paralympics. 

"They have been a fantastic supporter of Paralympic sport and our Chasing Greatness campaign with them over the last year, where we delved into the lives of Paralympians, was the catalyst for the podcast. 

"It was clear there were rich issues-filled themes to explore with Para athletes."
