Karate World Champion Jordan Thomas on 'Framing a Positive Future'

Kicking off Season 3 is Karate World Champion Jordan Thomas. Despite a childhood injury resulting in doctors telling him he would never walk again, at 4 years old Jordan set his dream in motion of becoming Karate World Champion. 20 years later and *spoiler alert* that’s exactly what he did….Now preparing for his Olympic debut, Jordan and I reflect on his hectic decade; discussing all things from his relationship with his father and the parent/coach dynamic, having to work full-time to fund his sport, the social sacrifices that come with any high performance sport and how the power that comes from believing in yourself can carry you through even the deepest of defeats….Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper Quote this week was:‘If you’re not willing to fail, you can’t innovate. If you’re not willing to build a vulnerable culture, you can’t create.’ - Brene Brown - ‘The Call to Courage’ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
