A Life of Greatness

Scotty James: How to Stop Letting Self-Doubt Run Your Life


Listen Later

Have you ever wanted to quit something you once loved?


This week, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Scotty James, three-time Olympic medallist and one of the most dominant snowboarders in the world. But this isn’t just a story about medals.

It’s about what it really takes to stay at the top.


In this conversation, we explore:


• The psychological pressure of competing on the world stage

• The moment Scotty nearly walked away from snowboarding

• What elite performance actually feels like behind the scenes

• The discipline required to stay world-class for over a decade

• His close friendship with Daniel Ricciardo and what high performers recognise in each other

• The role his family has played in shaping his mindset

• Why humility is harder than ambition


This episode goes beyond sport. It’s about resilience. Identity. Reinvention. And the uncomfortable reality of chasing greatness when everyone is watching.

If you’ve ever questioned whether to keep going, this conversation is for you.
