Playing sports and running a business: some might consider them worlds apart. But whether it’s coming with the wins or losses, pressure is universal. When passion and dedication are the critical deciding factors in success, can we take those skills learned from the court into the boardroom?
Olympian Damian Martin is back for this week’s episode of the podcast. We branch out from sport and take a wider view at the life of an elite athlete, and how past experiences from the sporting world have shaped his future outside of it. He explains how professional athletes approach developing skills such as resilience and focus under pressure, and how he then applied this mindset to his working career. Damian shares what he learned from his own personal growth alongside the inspirational advice he gained from team members and leadership mentors alike, including what takes someone from better to best, and how you can lift up those around you to do the same.
Join us for part two of our conversation, we open up the floor and take questions from the audience. We get a professional athlete’s insight into the relationship between business and sport, and the transferable skills we can use from both to channel a winner’s mindset.
