#0042 THE BRITISH BOBSLEIGH TEAM - HARD WORK BEATS TALENT!

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Creative Nowhere Land Podcast. It's always been my goal to use the podcast to have conversations with interesting and inspiring people from all walks of life. And for me, they don't get much more inspiring than the guests that we're very lucky to be joined by on this episode. Not one, not two, not three, but four Olympic athletes. Brad Hall, Greg Cackett, Taylor Lawrence, and Leon Greenwood, the British Bobsleigh Team. We've spoken before about creatives adopting more of an athlete's mindset when it comes to thinking about achieving their goals. Well, on this episode, we get a direct insight into the minds of some of the best in the world. We discuss each team member's route into the unconventional sport of bobsleigh and the hurdles they've had to overcome to achieve history-making success as a team. We talk about setting goals and the discipline needed to stay focused on them, and how it's not always the big things, but often the little things that you do every day that can make the most difference The boys also give us an exclusive insight into what it's like behind the scenes as a team. The brotherhood and the camaraderie, the ups and the downs, and the pressure that can arise between them despite the fact that they're all chasing the same end goal. We talk about the Olympics and the disappointment of not quite achieving everything that they'd wanted to, and the almost post-games grief that can come as a result. But we also go into the mindset, the strength, the resilience needed to keep pushing forward, whatever the future might hold As I've said before, there is a lot that we, quote-unquote, "normal people," can learn from these elite human beings. They're four Olympians. They're in the top 0.00017% of the world, and these guys have inspired me so much over the last few years of knowing them that I'm sure they're gonna inspire you too. I'm very grateful to be able to have these guys on the podcast, and I'm very lucky to be able to call them my friends. Hope you enjoy this episode of The Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.Check out the links to the British Bobsleigh Team social media here:THE BRITISH BOBSLEIGH TEAM INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/britishbobsleigh/GREGG CACKET INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/gregcackett1BRAD HALL INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bobsleighbrad/TAYLOR LAWRENCE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/taylor_lawrence1/LEON GREENWOOD INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/leongreenwood_/Support the showCNL WEBSITE: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/joinCNL INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/creativenowhereland/CNL PODCAST MUSIC: https://www.instagram.com/jjodabeats/
