It will have been hard to avoid the fact that we’re already deep into the ‘sporting summer’. Yesterday I was at Wimbledon at the Start of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships (hence my picture of Andy Murray as he started defending his title) – and the football World Cup is well underway. There’s also major international cricket matches going on – and in a few weeks – the Commonwealth games. As a coach I’m fascinated by sports and the dedication it takes to thrive in sport and in all that we can learn and apply in all aspects of our lives.
Those of you who have attended my workshops or read my book ‘Soul Trader’ will know that I often speak of the ‘attitude of an athlete’. What I admire about sports stars is that it is absolutely clear what it takes to prosper and it’s clear what all the challenges are. An athlete and sport star in any field needs to: study their field, master their craft, gather the right team, win and keep supporters, get the right nutrition, develop a strong sense of belief and confidence and stay motivated and on track. Those things actually apply to all aspects of life: personal, profession and business.
Develop the attitude of an athlete: I go into this topic in a lot of depth on my latest Podcast for Feeling Fab with Angie Greaves. It’s well worth a listen. Tune in here
