Summary

Are you watching the Winter Olympics right now? Because if you are, then you’ve probably witnessed real-time examples of resilience, and it forces a bigger question: do you really know how resilient you are until you’re tested? In this Habits & Hustle episode, I am joined by one of my dearest, closest friends Shani to talk about resilience in its greatest form, the Winter Olympics, and to give a big shout out to Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn, who has been here on the podcast before. We get into what it takes to compete at 41 years old, tear your ACL ten days before competition day and still show up, and why that level of commitment is what separates high performers from everyone else. If you have something you want to accomplish or a standard you’re ready to rise to, this conversation is your reminder that with the right mindset and real commitment, nothing can stop you. Tune in. What’s Discussed (01:41) Lindsey Vonn’s comeback story and competing at 41 (02:21) Tearing an ACL ten days before the Olympics and still choosing to compete (03:16) Freak accident mechanics vs preexisting injuries in high-risk performance (06:24) Are elite performers built different or shaped by relentless training (07:26) Age, longevity, and the shifting ceiling of Olympic careers (08:41) Modern recovery, training evolution, and extending athletic prime Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.
