My good friend Adam Sims came on to discuss his time as a professional windsurfer and more recently, a successful videographer and filmmaker in the extreme sports world.
His list of injuries stretches far, but culminated in him having serious surgery on his spine 3 years ago. We discussed this procedure, how he looked at life before compared to now having endured something like that.
I really enjoyed this insight into the life of a professional athlete that up until now, most have only seen through the rose tinted screens of social media.
We were concerned after recording that we didn't discuss mental health enough. But in my opinion mental health & wellbeing is such a massive spectrum. Everyone has a different relationship with their brain. Not all of us have heavy, serious mental issues, yet most of us will have struggles, both big and small, throughout our lives no matter what position we are in.
Sorry for all the windsurf chat for those who don't windsurf. Hopefully you can get through all the mentions of 'Spocks' and 'Air Chachoo's'.
Please do enjoy 🍻
