Balance & Beyond

From Collapse to Comeback: 3 Lessons from the Win No One Saw Coming


Listen Later

What can we learn from sport that translates into our everyday life? The answer from Jo’s recent netball grand final was a lot!

Listen in as we recount a thrilling tale of how her team, despite their age and physical limitations, managed to clinch a victory against one of the youngest teams in a high-stakes sporting match. 


This isn’t an episode about the game of netball but rather a wonderful metaphor for how we can defy the odds, embrace our wisdom and really play to our strengths.  


We’ll share how you can ensure that your circumstances, age or injuries don’t define you and how to neutralise threats that could topple you.  We also delve deeper into the power dynamics of the crowd. The crowd can be a double-edged sword. It can propel you to success or thrust you into a tailspin of self-doubt. Drawing from a personal experience of this high-stakes match, we discuss how we often seek the validation of a crowd or others instead of relying on our own inner wisdom. We explore this paradox, highlighting the importance of recognising when to let others' strengths come to the fore and when to trust your inner strengths.
