"When you at the top for so long, you don't realize how much energy or effort that has been put into being pushing yourself to the max, every match every training session, you're always 100%. And that takes a lot of effort. And my mind was starting to like push to its limit. And when it came to a breaking point of me winning my last eight was a world title. I kind of felt something broke"
Datuk Nicol David has won almost every accolade that can be won in her sport. She was the first squash player to have won the World Junior title twice, before going on to win the World title a record eight times. Her consistency at the very top saw her recently claim the World Games Greatest Athlete of All Time title.
So we talked about how she kept herself mentally strong during her sports career, about creating the right environment and the next phase in her life creating a foundation for youths. I got to interview her as part of the TEDxKL team that collaborated with four other TEDx chapters in Southeast Asia in the glenfiddichimaginenext.com project.
