Years of Work for 18 Seconds of Performance | Chris Mitrevski | Gen IQ

Today’s conversation is with Australian athlete Chris Mitrevski. Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrismitrevski?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==An Olympian who represented Australia at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games 2018 & 2022, World Athletics Championships and University Games, Chris is also a four-time Australian Champion.But this conversation is not only about athletics.It’s about discipline, resilience, sacrifice, setbacks, family values, heartbreak, mindset, and what it takes to dedicate years of your life to something meaningful.Imagine working for years, making sacrifices most people never see, all for a performance that lasts less than 20 seconds.What keeps someone going?What does excellence actually require?And are elite athletes just built differently, or do they develop habits and perspectives that we can all learn from?As always with Gen IQ, the goal is not to provide all the answers.It’s to ask better questions.I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.What is something meaningful you’ve dedicated yourself to?Gen IQ — The Podcast I Wish I Had at 16Peace & Love,Iqbal
