Victory Begins in The Mind - with George Groves
George Groves is a former professional boxer who competed from 2008 to 2018. He held the WBA (Super) super-middleweight title from 2017 to 2018, and regionally the European, British, and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles between 2010 and 2014. He was ranked as the world's best active super-middleweight by BoxRec, The Ring magazine and the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board.
George joins Steven to talk about life inside and outside of the ring, how the development of the mind has contributed to the physical victories, and how he has managed to navigate the sometimes uneven road to fame across his incredible career.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Life is about narrative, whether expressed through art, sport, endeavour or purpose. Every decision we make contributes to our own story.
- Success requires sacrifice. Sometimes we reach the top through leaving behind other passions. Every rise to the top has required dedication, resilience and hard work.
- Mental development is equally as important as physical progress, especially in the world of sport. We cannot hope to succeed if we do not attain mental resilience and strength.
- Many assume that affirmation comes from the adoration from others. But if we are truly comfortable in our own skin, and have the highest respect for ourselves and what we can achieve, then validation should come from within.
BEST MOMENTS
'If you want to invest in stories, then art is the way to go'
'Every fight felt like a life and death situation'
'I was developing my mind as well as my body'
'I like individuals, but I don't like "people". This means I don't crave the fame'

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
