On this episode of Previously Learnt, professional windsurfer Elena Sandera spoke of putting her future career in medicine on hold to pursue her Olympic dream.

From starting windsurfing in 2021 to Olympic qualification in three years is remarkable. It was brilliant to hear the steps that Elena has taken.

We spoke of many things, including :

• Not comparing yourself to others
• The power of manifestation
• Controlling the controllables
• Knowing whose advice to listen to
• Regulating your emotions
• Operating in a highly pressurised environment
• Enjoying the journey, not the destination
• Having fun, not always being about results
• The value of education
