  3. What makes one person succeed and another fall short? • That was the question Nathan posed our Sports Academy Students.

  9. The tale of Olympic glory in Atlanta 1996 began with a realisation that he had the potential to be the best in the world. The group were given an insight into the journey he took rather than the destination. He told them to believe in their abilities, to commit to the dream and work hard everyday in pursuing it. He revealed research from the US Navy Seals that we can endure 20x more physical exertion and pain if only we could control our mental and emotional responses. Imagine what you could achieve in training and on the sports field if you tapped into such potential Danyon spent some time unravelling the concept of Heroes and role models and challenged the students to look for human traits or qualities they admire rather than real people.
