In this episode Eva tells us all about her story on the way to becoming Australias highest ranked female double mini trampoline athlete at the age of 18! Wow. She shares what skills, both mental and physical, she brought over from WAG (womens artistic gymnastics). She explains which of these she attributes to her success and we discuss if her goals in this sport equate to her goals in her previous sport. An interesting chat on 'giving up' and 'taking the easy way out' as well as the expectations of others when on the path to stepping into your own greatness.
Desperate for your goals or detached? Big misses on goals you had your eye on for a long time can be heartbreaking. Is there another way to feel? I would say yes, but it takes some practice. Maybe there's a goal that you're still wanting to achieve, and you feel like the more you chase it, the further away it runs. Could you be standing in your own way by how you are perceiving your goals? Find out in this ep!
Tom and I discuss the life lessons that Tom imparts on the athletes that he coaches, including myself. We talk about why Tom decided to coach and his mission as a coach as well as diving deeper into the meaning behind the things he says to his athletes. It's a privilege to have Tom as a coach and a mentor. His impact has certainly been a big part of my very different, certainly better, relationship to the sport and myself . I know that there will be many Tomisms to take home for listeners. Thanks Tom, I and we appreciate you lots.
