Learned personal excellence: An Olympic example
There`s something powerful that New Zealand has, and that`s what we want to talk [about] today - some of the power of discovering [the difference] between medallists and non-medallists and how we can use that power to improve the goals all of us are trying to achieve. This [is] about lessons in personal excellence, and it`s come from New Zealand medallists since 2000. We have collected data for 12 years and now we`ve added the last cycle, so we`ve got 16. [We`ve] separated medallists from non-medallists and looked at how they did what they did, what the difference is and what can we learn about how hard is it to win. We need to know what we`re walking into as a medallist - so today we`re medallists, what are we walking into? How do medallists prepare, what do they believe, how do they learn and what does this mean for us?
