Ep18. A conversation with Oscar
from I really want to do this! Hosted by cyrilderreumaux
“I do get overboard at everything I do. I do everything flat out, or don’t do it“ – “You’ve got it, it’s up to you, to actually realize, that you can make yourself whatever you want to be” - “You can’t let the pain overtake the brain. The brain’s got to be in charge” - “I love to teach! I’ll teach you, even if you don’t want to. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to getting the technic right, and doing everything right, and I hate seeing people doing it wrong” – “I always say when I’m teaching: Don’t believe me, work it out for yourself, and believe in me, once you work it out for yourself then you’ll know that I’m right” – “If I got to do something, I do it now” – “I’m going to train, I said I was going to train, I’m going. I don’t care about the weather or things like that” – “If you have a plan and you write it down, 80% of your goal is achieved. That is the think at the start: you’ve got to write everything down” - “if you go off the rails, you must be able to come back on” – “I wasn’t born a Surfski paddler, I wasn’t born a keto expert, I wasn’t born a swimmer… I made myself” – “Extra talent means nothing until you use it. And the only way to use is is work, and determination, and discipline to do it” – “I’m the person who’s always trying to shortcut everything, trying to make everything a little bit easier. No matter what I do” – “Just make sure, whatever you’re doing, that is helping you to forward yourself in life”
