Full convo on my latest episode 🎙️👏🏼 #unstoppable #success #motivational #best #show #podcast

You know, from the world of sports, I think resonates here. It's the story of Michael Phelps, world class swimmer. Back in 2008, he was in the Beijing Olympics on the world stage in a big way for the very first time. And in those first Olympic Games, he was poised to do something that no Olympian had ever done in the history of the Olympic Games, which was win eight gold medals in a single competition. He just had to win the 200 meter fly. That's his jam, right? That's what he is known for. So it seemed like a shoo in, except for when he dove into the pool, his goggles started to leak. And by the time he had just one length of the pool left to go, his goggles were completely filled with water and he was essentially swimming blind now. And I think for most people that would have been the end. But for him, I don't think he let anxiety get the better of him because foreshadowing that obstacle was something that had been part of his preparation. He and his coach envisioned that this could happen, so they would practice swimming without his goggles. He had practiced for this, and so instantly he was able to pivot to his backup plan, which is counting as strokes.
