6: Grit and Obsession: An Elite Athlete's Journey (Guest: Steve Mesler)

<div>With the 2021 Tokyo Olympics set to begin next month, David Eades<br> chats with Olympic gold medalist and World Champion bobsledder<br> Steve Mesler.   Steve shares his unique insight into the psyche of an<br> elite athlete striving for the top, reaching the pinnacle and then coming to<br> terms with the fulfilment of a dream. He also explains how he channeled<br> that intensity into “Classroom Champions”, an award-winning initiative<br> that connects star athletes to school children to improve their desire to<br> learn, to find inspiration and to do well at school.  “It’s not about telling<br> kids a story.  It’s about having kids be part of a story, part of a<br> journey”.</div>
