1:24:43Now PlayingThis might be one of the greatest conversations Mel has ever had on this podcast.
Today, you’re getting an absolute masterclass in motivation from one of the greatest athletes walking this earth: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
If you’ve ever felt self-doubt, pressure, or like your best days are behind you, you’re in the right place. In this conversation, Shelly-Ann does not hold back.
Shelly-Ann is the most decorated 100-meter sprinter of all time, male or female. She has won Olympic gold 3 times. She has won 10 gold medals at the World Championships, with 2 of them coming after she gave birth to her son Zyon.
She is going to tell you: you are not supposed to be average. You are built for excellence and extraordinary things.
But this isn't a conversation about being an athlete. This conversation is about building an unstoppable mindset and being the best version of yourself, no matter where you are in life.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
-Build the mindset of a champion
-Use visualization to prepare for high-pressure moments
-Stop focusing on constant comparison and worrying about what everyone else is doing
-Bounce back after failure
-Believe in your dream before anyone else understands it
You’ll also hear a powerful message about the power Shelly-Ann gained after becoming a mother and not listening to people who told her she had to choose between motherhood and her career.
Get ready, because Shelly-Ann is about to speak directly to your soul and inspire you to become your greatest self.
