Episode 35
This is the funny but inspiring conversation with Team GB Olympic Bobsleigh athlete, Nick Gleeson. Nick tells us about his story of becoming a paratrooper, what it takes and how he uses the"pain hole" to use that dark energy. I learn how one of his most transferable skills from the army was his ability to control chaos and use order when he needs it most - like when he's trained 4 years for just 1 minute of performance. Finally, Nick reminds us all that switching it off is just as important as training hard, "rest is best".
