A very well written article with a huge amount of resilience and growth mindset from Adam!
A powerful piece about Olympian Adam Peaty, reminding us (and himself) that those gold medals don't fix life, don't repair relationships, don't bring peace. You can hear the ongoing turmoil, vulnerability and bravery as Peaty navigates his way through a period of crisis with support from pyschology, philosophy and spirituality, discovering the power of gratitude and perspective, stabilised by the understanding that his own value is not increased or diminished by any medals, leaving him free to follow his ambitions to be the best he can be. What could we learn about our sports environments that feed and develop from early on many of the behaviours, beliefs and narrow thinking about our identity and self-worth that could have led to Peaty's suffering? #culturechange #sport #culturematters #beliefs #values #identity #perspective #gratitude #redefinesuccess #constantlearning #thelongwin The True Athlete Project Laurence Cassøe Halsted Rick Cotgreave Katie Warriner Sam Parfitt Elliott Newell

Sport Psychology at the Olympics: Part 17 Injury is almost inevitable in sport, and it can around three times as long to recover mentally, as it does physically. Embracing the opportunities that injury can offer is an important step in the recovery process. Getting back to pre-injury is often a goal that is limiting, instead aiming to develop into a different athlete throughout the recovery process has proven to be much more successful. #sport #sportpsychology #athletics #heptathlon #kjt #johnson-thompson #ennis #thiam #teamgb #teamusa #paris2024 #parisolympics #paris #olympics2024 #olympics
Leadership--finding and using your power--purpose and legacy. Oksana Masters. 10x Olympian medalist, Ukrainian, immigrant, adopted child, US citizen, female athlete...oh, and born in the shadow (and winds) of Chernobyl with multiple and severe birth defects. the first video clip below is Oksana on why she does what she does. The second clip presents one of her Paris gold medal races (1 of 2)--about 4:20 into the clip comes a 3 minute after race interview with spontaneous expressions of wonderment at her triumph, concern for an injured competitor, gratitude for her coaching team, a pulsating desire to get to a post contest hug from her mother... and, of course, what might come next in her career. As she said in one interview, 'I'm looking to have that perfect race...one that you know you did everything right.' as for purpose... a humbling expression of 'why do what you do'-- "When I think about the Games coming to LA in 2028, home Games, I want USA to fill every single female slot there is to fill in across every single sport, not just track and field, not just swimming, not just gymnastics and basketball." "I guess what excites me about being so fortunate and lucky to have the success I've been able to achieve so far is my voice can hopefully help open that door and make it better for the next generation, and also in general for Paralympic sport in the U.S., and also globally and internationally." footnote: https://lnkd.in/eXciCb-Z https://lnkd.in/ettZvRkF https://lnkd.in/ewSZsq39 #OksanaMasters #legacy #paraolympics #legacy #purpose #courage #dedication #power #parisolympics #personalnarrative #resilience

Simone Biles: A Champion’s Comeback Simone Biles has returned stronger than ever, winning her record eighth all-around title at the 2023 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. After stepping back from the Tokyo Olympics to prioritize her mental health, Biles reminds us of the critical link between mental and physical well-being. As she puts it: "The relationship between mental and physical health is so important. It's OK sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself because it shows how strong of a competitor and person that you really are, rather than just battle through it." Her journey is a powerful reminder for all of us, whether in education, healthcare, or investing, to prioritise mental health and recognise that strength comes from acknowledging when to take a step back. Key Takeaways: Prioritise Well-being: Like Biles, we must put our mental health first to enhance performance and ensure long-term success. Strength in Vulnerability: Acknowledging the need for support is a sign of strength. This applies across all fields and can lead to improved outcomes. Encourage Open Dialogue: Biles’ openness encourages us to foster environments where mental health is discussed and prioritised.

Less Rush. More Presence. Less Rigidity. More Suppleness. Less Noise. More Intentionality. Thinking of your values and daily intentions, What would you add to this list of Less ____ More _____? I’d love to hear. ✨ I imagine many of us adding to this list, creating one beautiful tapestry of what we all wish to bring more of into the world. 🌎 (The 3 Less & More I share above are intentions of my own. Daily practices. Gentle reminders. I’m not aiming for perfection or to rid the rush entirely. But more so heightening my awareness of when I notice I’m rushing, rigid, or adding to the ‘noise’. Awareness is key. Though not easy. I don’t always have the awareness. But I’m learning. That’s part of the adventure. The adventure we’re all on together. ☀️🌍💫 Photo: Flying to California this month to visit family and participate in an Olympic event for the Oxnard school district with a stellar group of Olympians and Paralympians. #intentionallife #selfawareness #intentionsetting #thekampfire #valuebasedliving #selftrust #olympians #paralympians #travelwithkids
