Today on the PerformHappy podcast, we’re diving into the world of Men’s elite gymnastics with Heath Thorpe, a true standout from Australia known for his incredible artistry and athleticism. Heath is making waves not only with his powerful routines but also by pushing the limits of self-expression in a sport that doesn’t always welcome individuality. He’s showing a new generation of athletes what it means to be authentic, even in high-stakes environments.

Heath’s journey is one of resilience and persistence. From competing at the highest levels to performing groundbreaking routines, he’s experienced both the thrill of success and the heartbreak of just missing his goal of making the 2024 Olympic team. But it’s how he’s faced those setbacks and mental challenges that’s so inspiring.

Tune in as Heath opens up about his path, shares his strategies for overcoming mental blocks, and offers powerful insights on staying true to yourself. Whether you're an athlete or not, there’s so much to learn from Heath’s story about facing fear, embracing creativity, and aiming higher.
