Achieving the Long Goal - Jami Tikkanen - Episode 56

Are you prepared to do what is necessary in order to become the best version of yourself? This question jumped out at me as I was listening to todays episode of the weMove podcast with Jami Tikkanen, performance coach to the elite CrossFit athletes Annie Thorisdottir and BK Gudmundsen. We have been waiting for over 12 months to sit down with Jami after first meeting him for Issue 1 of our publication back in 2015. Since then he has been perpetually on the road, refining the training of his athletes to compete at the highest level in the world of CrossFit and it is clearly working. OF course we aren’t all going to be elite level performers, that as we hear is a perfect blend of factors, but we can effect our performance and potential as our selves and Jami outlines ideas as to how we can. And these are the very same as he applies and develops in the athletes he trains to become their own potent best. We cover some ground, from the positive effects of Trust and belief, to the mental skill of performance on demand and how we can achieve our human potential by consistently i.e. daily challenging ourselves with things that we haven’t done before be they physical, mental, fitness goals or career goals. Surrounding our selves with others who believe in your ability and will support you to gain the experiences, which are needed to help you on the path. This was one of those episodes that I had forgotten about and after the first listen, it went on repeat twice and then I got a fourth listen before the family woke up because there is so much in there to be had. For anyone who believes they have more or are looking for those ways in which they can step up to the next level this is a must. Improving is a long goal built on small steps and as Jami reiterated a consistently strong foundation of the basics. After my 5th listen in two days I am already gearing up for my next early morning playback. Enjoy and as always, let us know what you think of the episode.
