Welcome to the Inner Olympian Podcast!
You don't need to go to the Olympics to be an Olympian! The Inner Olympian podcast is the brainchild of 2x Canadian olympian Segun Makinde who believes that you don't need to go to the Olympics to BE an olympian. To him, BEING an olympian boils down to the way you think, act, and live and everyone has the potential to tap into their "Inner Olympian" by changing their mindset. The Inner Olympian Podcast is committed to helping individuals shift their thinking through thought-provoking mindset & motivational content that will challenge, motivate, and inspire you to do what you think is impossible.
In this episode, I chat with 2016 Canadian Olympian, motivational speaker, model and producer, Micha Powell. In this episode we discuss ,
Her journey from tennis player to track athlete
Being real with yourself
Overcoming tough moments
Redefining your weaknesses as strengths
Focusing on what you can control
Challenging your thinking
And more!
