Listen "#119 Amani Fancy | The dark side of high performance"
Episode Synopsis
Hear Amani Fancy’s figure skating story, from the highs of two times British championship and dancing on ice, to the fall-downs and lows.
Amani shares her battles with her mental health throughout her skating career, along with the dark side of high performance, and how this was impacted by those around her along with the internal mental game. And post her skating career, how her personal experience has allowed her to reflect on how to be a successful and inclusive leader.
Amani emphasises the importance of a tight support network in reaching success in high-performance sports, and how this can be transferred to business success too. It is about recognising that every fall, whether literally onto the ice, or in a business sense, leads to lessons and growth, and how passion, hard work, and an aligned team will help to overcome any obstacles.
