How I Trained My Mind For Success - Mark Ridderhof

Mark Ridderhof is a former professional basketball player and is now Head of Sales of a UK-based scale-up.Mark is passionate about people and companies and helping to empower them to reach their goals. He is endlessly curious about why we do certain things and likes to challenge himself and others to see how we can improve. This is something he always looks to in his life whether it's privately, coaching his own team, or dealing with customers and partnerships. Mark and I talk about his life as a professional basketball player in The Netherlands, and the pressure of being the son of a Dutch basketball icon. We also talked about the transition from top level sport to 'normal' life was incredibly challenging, as it came at the same time as the birth of his daughter and the break up of his then relationship. Out of dark times came the insight into who he is and Mark credits that time as giving him the mental strength to be the leader he is today.
