With medals or without medals, I consider sport as a way of life, as well as inspiring for both personal and professional life. As an amateur athlete, myself, I read and listened a lot on incredible athletic achievements. I found this article very interesting, and would like to share with you some key take aways: - Determination & consistency drive long term success (in other words, discipline, focus, perseverance...) - Process is key, and you must find enjoyment and motivation along the way... - Be bold, but not too bold - you do not want to break the bar (constant but simple innovation is a great approach) - The team, and the teamwork is key... even in running... the support system, the commitment as a team, the common vision, are important - Leadership position is everywhere, event as a running or triathlon champion #leadership #empowerment #mindset #Abetterway #Abetterafrica What are your thoughts on those 5 statements?

Based on the Ironman Swansea 70.3 in July 2023, Tony explains how having a Clear and Compelling Purpose is key to staying on track. He employed the same principles for this year's Ironman Bolton 70.3 and, assisted by some better weather, completed the event almost 45 minutes quicker. https://lnkd.in/eD5U_p2w

Here are five leadership skills I learned as an Ironman triathlete that translate perfectly into any professional role.

Training for and completing an Ironman triathlon isn’t just about physical endurance—it’s a testament to your mental strength, discipline, and resilience. As an Ironman triathlete, you learn to push beyond limits and stay focused under pressure, maintaining an unwavering dedication to achieving your goals. As an Ironman myself, I know firsthand that these qualities translate directly into stronger leadership skills. The ability to successfully overcome complex challenges while keeping a clear vision is what makes us triathletes such exceptional leaders. Whether it’s in the boardroom or out on the race course, the perseverance required to be an Ironman sets you apart as a leader who can tackle any obstacle. 🦾 #IronmanTriathlete #Leadership #TransformationalLeadership #EnduranceTraining
