Daley Thompson

SnipBit is the weekly podcast designed to provide motivational and inspirational soundbites and snippets from aspirational people in the fields of business, sport, entertainment and politics. 

This week we welcome Daley Thompson,  British former decathlete. He won the decathlon gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and broke the world record for the event four times.

He inspired generations of athletes from across the world. Before his Olympic stint, Decathlon was one of the least popular spectator events in athletics. Thompson changed all that with his colour and flamboyance. He was a superb athlete, one who had dedicated his life to nothing but getting better and better in the event. 

 

In this episode you will learn: 

• The highlights of his Olympic career 
• His mindset for success
• Who is he looking up to in sports
• What made him different from other athletes
• His advice to future athletes

 

The show's mission is to drive young people to seek greater heights of achievement through the examples of those that have gone before them. The core aim is to show that achievement is not limited to luck or circumstance and listeners can learn from the success stories and mistakes of the best.

The famous voices you will hear interviewed by host Hayley Meakes on SnipBit will demonstrate to young people that they can be successful in their chosen field, whatever their background or start in life. This show sets out to prove that with hard work, a positive mindset, resilience and action great success can be achieved.
