Is the Amateur Mindset Holding You Back? Learnings from Eilte Athletes


Listen Later

Paul and James talk about what they learned speaking to some of the best athletes in the world

It's been a couple of months since we last recorded.

This episode (the final of the series), we get back to our one to one conversations. In the last 5 episodes it was great to speak to such accomplished athletes and try to get under the skin of what makes them tick and the story that underlies everyone's desire for success. In the end they were all very different - their motivations and reasons for committing to what is quite a difficult life was more varied than we expected.

 

So how can those conversations help? Are there things we can learn from the professional approach of the elite athlete? Is an amateur mindset holding us all back?

 

We finish up this series with a short conversation about what we have been been doing, how the pandemic continues to affect our lives and what we learned from talking to some of the Pro Compressport Team. 

In this show:

 
- Paul talks about the two different types of athlete
- We discuss the concept of "Doing what you love" and "Loving what you do"
- James asks about how to change your success measures
- We chat about the attributes of athletes who have flourished in lockdown
- Paul finishes with a message about tolerance through tense times

 
 

This interview is the last of series 2.  Please like, share and subscribe if you enjoy the show. And if you want to connect with us you can get Paul at his handle @pyllon on most social media outlets. James is @james_stewart13 on Twitter.
