Tianna Bartoletta is a Gold medal winning Olympic athlete who has represented the US in the long jump and short sprinting events like the 100m. At the 2012 London Olympics won her first gold in the 4x100m relay team. At the 2016 Rio Olympics the the 100m relay team defended their title and retained the Gold. Tianna also won Gold in 2016 for the long jump where she walked away with a personal best jump of 7.17m. She even did a stint with the US Women's Bobsled team in 2012. An all-round phenomenal athlete.   But Tianna's path to Olympic glory wasn't paved in gold - for six long athletic seasons Tianna toiled away with nothing to show for it. Working on the principle that no effort is wasted and showing up when even when she didn't feel like it, she kicked her mindset into a higher gear to claim her first Olympic Gold.    I absolutely loved talking to Tianna - she's open, honest and living as her true self. In this episode we covered topics such as dialling in your WHY, how quitting isn't an option, Tianna's quote / unquote "unpopular opinion" on relationships and success and her struggles with her own toxic relationship, meditation and a bit of science and sports as well.   Get ready to be blown away by the authenticity and amazingness of Tianna Bartoletta. Enjoy.
