Sprinting Through Setbacks with Olympian Micha Powell

from Talk Paper Scissors Hosted by Diana Varma, Micha Jada Powell

In this episode, you’ll hear world-class Canadian Olympic sprinter and Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Micha Powell, share the process for writing and publishing her book, Sprinting Through Setbacks, and the important lessons she’s learned in the process. You’ll hear her inspiring story that changed the trajectory of her track career. Micha speaks about self doubt and imposter syndrome, the ways in which they’ve shown up in her athletic journey. How writing can be a time machine and we get into why relying on AI as a writing tool isn’t the answer. Micha shares the importance of mindset in sport and beyond, including the importance of staying in your own lane (physically and metaphorically). You’ll better understand the ways in which we can all succeed in our own ways, as well as lots of actionable strategies for maintaining focus in a distracted, digital world. I encourage you to also check out my first episode with Micha, Episode 96: Storytelling & Athletics with Micha Powell. Let's Connect on the web or via Instagram. :)
