Professional adversaries. How do they manage their relationships? On the podcast this week, we look at a relationships founded in battle. If you’re a politician, or a lawyer for example, how do you deal with the people you’ve fought against during a campaign or a trial? Because often you have to work with those very same people after the dust has settled. We decided to look to sports for some of the best examples of adversarial relationships. And it doesn’t get much more adversarial than in the one-on-one, fight-to-the-finish sport of fencing. Nicole Ross is an US Olympic foil fencer, and she explains how her foes can also be friends, with the right mindset and some emotional discipline.
