In this episode, I am joined by David Curtiss. David is a professional swimmer from the United States. He was a force to be reckoned with on the junior scene competing at the World Junior Championships before debuting on the senior team including the recent World Short Course Championships held right here in Melbourne, Australia. In our chat, we take a deep dive (pun intended!) into David’s mindset. He is able to articulate so well his thought process as an elite athlete. We discuss feeling ‘out of your depth’, comparison, and nerves. I appreciated David’s candor so much as it provided a great insight into how he sets and achieves his goals. He was able to share some great advice and tips that I think we can all apply regardless of what sport you do or even if you are an athlete or not. I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to chat with David and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
