Latest Podcast

Welcome to the Heartbeat of the Mallee podcast series, which is proudly brought to you by TASCO Petroleum.

In this episode, host Heath Kendall, is in conversation with Snap Fitness Mildura co-owner, Joel Coates.

As Heath discovers, Joel was born 10 weeks premature to a mother who suffered an addiction. At just 21, Joel was by chance diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, which had it not have been detected, would have most likely taken his life. Then at the age of 23, he sustained a significant head injury while playing football, which led to a brain stem haemorrhage and, subsequently, a severe stroke. As a result, his vision and hearing were both impaired and he lost most of his mobility.

By some miracle he survived to fight another day. That’s the Joel Coates story in a nutshell, but amazingly this is just a fraction of his extraordinary lifelong tale of adversity and triumph.
