Ep. 009

2 time national champion sprinter Sam Effah knows a thing or 2 about determination. After having major hip surgery (on both hips) he is poised to be back on top of sprinting in Canada. He joins me for a great chat about facing adversity with the determination to win. Show highlights: - There is no direct route from point a to point b and there will be many bumps in the journey. Accept it and be able to bounce back from any doubt. - Setting long and short term goals – using them to keep you on target - Write everything down and your mind is free. - Dropping all the weight of certain thoughts and giving you space from it to clear your mind for more important things. - Focusing inward and making goals to keep yourself motivated while watching others ‘pass’ you. - The distraction of focusing on external pressures. - Having the power to only compete against yourself. - Facing all the downfalls with the determination to win.
