KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I was swimming at a pace to try to qualify to swim my challenge and a guy asked me about it and commented on my style. Since I’ve started training for the last year I’ve come a long way but I haven’t been working with a coach for a long time, so I don’t know how well I’m doing. So, words of encouragement from a complete stranger were nice to hear and helped me improve my times by 10-15%.
- I’ve gone from bi-lateral breathing to breathing once every two strokes to improve my glide, improve my stroke and keep more oxygen in my lungs.
- Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, be kind to each other, be pleasant, be happy, smile, make other people smile. The world is a better place if we’re all happier and nicer to each other. Who doesn’t want that?
BEST MOMENTS
‘When swimming you know when you’re exhausting yourself and you know when you’re in flow.’
‘There’s people walking around with weapons out there but I’m not allowed to film my training sessions for this challenge. Maybe the general manager of my pool here will bend the rules and let me.’
‘Go out into your world today and give somebody some words of encouragement. See how it feels to give those words of encouragement. In time they’ll come back to you, then see how it feels to receive them. Not how it makes you feel.’
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
