A conversation on flow with Matt Roberts and Thomas Leamy.
Guest bio: Matt Roberts is a trained artist and ex International High Jumper and his career started slowly – at 19 he had a personal best of 1.95m. Recognizing the need to exploit every potential margin of gain, he searched for the perfect mindset over his 15-year career. His career-best was 2.26m, making the top 20 UK All-time list and just 3cm short of what won the Olympic Silver 2 years later. However, in the year that followed his best Matt ruptured a disc in his neck, leading to surgery and its replacement. An injury that would end many careers, Matt started from scratch – eventually clearing 2.25m before retirement. His persistence and resilience were realized through the discovery of the Three Principles. It was during a coaching conversation that an insight changed his life. Matt now shares this understanding with athletes and business people to guide them to their own source of flow and peak performance.
