Hard work and education are everything to this world-class sprinter, Curtis Mitchell.

In this AthMindset episode, Lisa Bonta Sumii, LCSW, CSW, shares space with Curtis Mitchell.

This man is the 2014 USA 200 meter Champion! The 2013 USA 200 meter silver Medalist. And the 2013 USA World Championship Bronze Medalist! His personal record is 19.97.

How does Curtis Mitchell go from multi-sport high school athlete to no scholarship offers to a race against Usain Bolt?

How about:

Finding opportunity in Junior College (JUCO), dreaming big, self-reflection, saying no to distractions, being uncomfortable, working on mental health, and overall working hard and focusing on education. All while not letting his sport define him. Curtis Mitchell talks about how he doesn’t want to walk away from his sport with nothing. Thus he is a business owner focused on generational wealth.

Listen to Lisa and Curtis Mitchell have an open and vulnerable conversation on how Curtis Mitchell has accomplished what he has and even more, what he will. His mindset is something we can all learn from.

This is the AthMindset Podcast Series on SportsEpreneur. And it’s all about mental health in sports.
