Welcome to Sports Thoughts Story Time. As a species we humans are at our best when we’re connecting with each other through story-telling. Story telling allows us to share more than the facts: it’s our opportunity to share our feelings, our emotions, our wisdom and our learning with others. Stories allow us to share our successes, our failures, our joys and our fears. Stories help us to learn and grow. This space - Sports Thoughts Story Time is where I’ll share some of the stories I’ve experienced in a lifetime of sport.
This week - The Power of Choice.
In his famous book, psychiatrist *Viktor Frankl wrote that the greatest power any human can develop, is the power to choose how to respond to the things that happen to them - or that are happening around them.
This is a story about a young triathlete who had a broken leg - and how I taught him the power of choice.
Enjoy.
*Viktor Emil Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychologist, philosopher, and Holocaust survivor, who founded logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that describes a search for a life's meaning as the central human motivational force.
