12X Olympic Medalist Natalie Coughlin on Setting Goals High Enough to Fail


Listen Later

Natalie Coughlin is one the most the accomplished female swimmers in the world. She was a 3X Olympian, 12X Olympic Medalist and has won 60 medals in international competition. She has been voted the World Swimmer of the year, American swimmer of the year 3 times, NCAA swimmer of the year and Sports Illustrated collegiate female athlete of the year. Her continued success is not just due to setting goals and creating a process but also her ability to be present and remind herself in the most intense situations that she is just, "swimming up and down a silly pool!" While she has won more awards than most of us can imagine, she is most grateful for the setbacks that have helped her grow.

Natalie discusses her ability to keep growing by setting goals high enough to fail. She also shares how her learned skill set of discipline, hard work, patience, and letting go of things out of her control have led to more incredible experiences such as competing on Dancing with the Stars and directly impacted her success as the co-founder and vintner of Gaderian wines.
