#5 - Commonwealth Games swimmer Adam Nicholson


Listen Later

Today we have an amazing interview with Adam Nicholson, an elite swimmer who participated at various European and World championships but also at the prestigious Commonwealth Games in various swimming events from surf rescue to traditional pool events. He even competed against the great Ian Thorpe ! He tells us about his journey into swimming and why he was successful at it.

In the first part of the podcast we dissect the interview and talk about the three main topics which came out : athlete and talent development, team motivation and preparation. He gives us great insight into the minds of elite sportsmen but so many things can be applied to the regular amateur. This is a great interview for parents but also for people who might think it's too late to start a sport.

Adam played a huge part in my life from teaching me to swim, being my best man at my wedding and now my business mentor. We hope you enjoy the interview !
