Is Fear Holding You Back From The Career Switch You Need? | Beth Potter

GB Triathlete Beth Potter didn’t even own a bike eight years ago. Now she is a gold medal favourite for the women’s triathlon in Paris this summer. The story of why she decided to trust her instincts and quit track athletics for a completely new sport is a lesson in trusting your instincts, staying patient and taking advice from people who really know. There was no immediate success to validate her decision either. She realised that learning to handle doubts and instead focus on the daily discipline of turning up each morning to do your work is the most reliable way for any of us to get results. She also explains how improving her self-talk has helped her turn good finishes into wins, how sleep banking has helped her handle pre-race insomnia, and she gives us a preview of the route she’ll be taking on in the Olympics this summer.
