The other day I was watching Red Bull’s Project X with Olympic Snowboarder Shawn White. He was up in Silverton, Colorado on a private run inventing new tricks! A huge foam pit was dragged up the mountain so that he could attempt his new extreme snowboarding tricks on a monster half pipe.
During the interviews mixed into the mind blowing footage of Shawn’s runs, he made some enlightening statements about his profession and being the best in the world.
Shawn talked about his feeling of confidence at the 2006 Winter Olympics before this run. He knew the outcome before his run and had a sense of certainty. This was the feeling he was attempting to duplicate in the 2010 Olympics. Shawn also talked about visualization … this word came up quite a bit when he described his sport.
The monster foam pit you’ll see in the video allows Shawn to take what he visualizes in his mind and practice it until he has mastered the trick.
This process is similar to your business. You visualize your approach, presentations or how you would like your website to look first. This is followed by rehearsing and practicing or testing various elements on your site until you have achieved a level of mastery.
Be sure to check out this awesome Shawn White Video!
Watching Shawn White dominate this killer half pipe is sure to inspire you with ideas on how you can Revolutionize Your Business!
Kwame “Snow Leopard” Nkrumah-Acheampong is the sole member of the Ghana Olympic Ski Team!
Here is a glimpse into his amazing journey….
Soon after his first time on skis, the young father of two was ripping down the 185-yard slope. “As I improved, one guy in particular kind of motivated me,†Nkrumah-Acheampong says. “He told me there was no way that I could qualify for an Olympic games. Well, I am a very competitive person, and I took that as a challenge. I wanted to make him eat his hat. Skiing was suddenly something I needed to master. That is what drives me.â€
Nkrumah-Acheampong will need every last bit of that drive to compensate for the massive disparity between his experience and that of his Olympic competitors, most of whom have been skiing since they were toddlers. The Snow Leopard picked up the sport at an age when most competitive skiers are thinking about hanging up their boots. His progress was initially so rapid that he considered trying out for the 2006 winter games in Turin, Italy, 18 months after his first run. “Instead of Turin, I committed to 2010,†he says. “I don’t mind telling you, it’s been a long, hard journey.â€
