28. Mind-Body Connection: Balancing the Spiritual & Physical | with Kim White

Kim White is a track athlete who had won national and international titles, and he was training for selection in the 1992 Australian Olympic team when he noticed that, despite every other factor in his training and regimen being controlled, his performance could change depending on the hotel room he slept in the night before the race. He realized that the environment could have a positive or negative impact on his race performance. As a kid, he always loved gradual improvement, but when he started shooting for the Olympic medal, he overextended himself and injured himself. He shares the lessons he learned from that experience, how it led to a fascination with the mind-body connection, and how he uses this knowledge to help people heal.
