In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about how thinking, acting, eating and sleeping like an athlete helps you to become an athlete and likewise, if you can’t afford an athlete’s coach, to think, act, eat and sleep like a coach. It’s all about positive mindset to avoid feeling down about injury or personal loss.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
In the last few weeks Gavin has suffered a muscle contraction in his back which has stopped him training for his marathon swim across the Mediterranean and his bike was stolen. But he’s realised that perhaps he should have planned for setbacks so as not to suffer from injury depression.

I believed the injury was the sole reason and cause that I would not be able to progress. That mindset has dragged me down. If you allow it to be your sole focus of your attention you will make your depression worse and your injury worse.

I played a tennis tournament recently and I found a lot of imperfections. On the day at the time, my partner and I got beat by better competitors. I get super-competitive in tournaments because I can’t accept less than being the best I can be so I always have to give more. But there was no need for me to serve so hard… my body isn’t used to it.

I distracted myself from my injury depression long enough to notice that if I did other things to keep my body improving in other places and still get fit, I wouldn’t have to succumb to injury depression.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Negative mind states cause chaos and havoc.’
‘We are gifted 50,000 new cells regenerating per second, I’ve started visualising this so I can get better and am able to continue.’
‘We can all be better, none of us are perfect.’
‘Don’t go full-throttle in the first 100 metres or you won’t make it the whole way.’
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
