What does it take to perform under extraordinary pressure while protecting your reputation and mental health? How do you remain authentic when the world is watching, and what can business leaders learn from the discipline, resilience and teamwork of elite athletes?
In this episode of Just Curious..., Nicky Regazzoni and George Blizzard welcome three-time Olympian and European sprint champion Adam Gemili to explore the realities of professional sport, the pressures of public scrutiny and the importance of finding your own voice.
Adam reflects on his remarkable journey, including the devastating experience of missing a medal at the Rio Olympics by just three thousandths of a second. He shares how he learnt to handle media attention, social media criticism and the emotional demands of competing at the highest level.
Adam talks about his determination to challenge sporting authorities over athletes' commercial rights, his commitment to authentic brand partnerships and the lessons businesses can learn from elite sporting environments. And he explains why he wants to help the next generation of athletes succeed both on and off the track.
