Olympic athlete in swimming
POPULARITY
With the Tokyo Games happening at the moment I thought it would be great to bring on someone who recently competed over there and what a great guy I was able to grab a hold of in Team USA open water specialist, Jordan Wilimovsky. Within the conversation we discuss in detail the art of "enduring", not in the obvious sense of Jordan's incredible physical endurance, but more in the mental sense of what it takes to not become distracted from the goals at hand. Whether you are someone that is use to long days in the office, working on projects for weeks at time, or someone that just struggles with long-term commitments, Jordan sheds some great insight on how to approach a task and conquer it through an ability to endure.
In less than two months, the world will be glued to the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Without a doubt, these will be the strangest Olympics in our lifetimes. Without fans in attendance this year, we wanted to dig deeper into what goes on behind the scenes and how elite athletes prepare for and experience the games. Joining us today is U.S. Olympic swimmer Jordan Wilimovsky. Jordan will be competing in the Tokyo Games, hoping to improve on his Olympic debut in Rio in 2016, where he finished 5th in the 10k event. We wanted to get Jordan's perspective about the postponed games, his relationship with brands and sponsors and to get a sense of how an athlete at his level prepares for this ultimate competition.
