🥊Celebrating family, dedication and seeing the power of physical & psychological performance in action!👇🏼
This weekend I watched my ‘baby’ brother step into a completely new arena: a charity boxing match, hosted by 🥊
Josh has always been that person who seems to pick things up quickly, something that frustrated me as a kid and impresses me as an adult.
👉🏼But beneath that natural talent is years of commitment, discipline, and graft.
From ex-pro skier⛷️ , to ex-pro snowboarder🏂 , to bodybuilder 💪🏼 He pours himself wholeheartedly into whatever he does.
And while bodybuilding is not my world, witnessing the calculation, consistency and hard work behind the scenes has always given me huge respect for the sport.
🥊Boxing, however, was different.
A few weeks’ training.
A 100kg frame that isn’t exactly built for speed.
An opponent who was heavier, taller, and equally intimidating.
And my brother who is, by nature, laid back, conflict avoidant and a total softie beneath the tattoos.
Yet again, he surprised us👏🏼
With focus, learning a new skill, and one clear tactic - go low, swing up - he delivered a first-round 🥊💥
Relief, pride and a huge appreciation for what can happen when mind and body align with purpose.
Again, it was a powerful reminder how much psychological performance shapes physical performance (and vice versa).
Whether we’re in a boxing ring, a boardroom, a team meeting or leading others through uncertainty, the ability to regulate ourselves, stay present, adapt quickly, and trust our training - mental and physical - is everything 🙌🏼
Each of us have our own arenas - work, home, parenting, friendship, sports, health, money - where the integration of mindset, emotion and physiology determines how we show up.
Whilst I’m not an advocate for a sport that involves head trauma - I so proud of you brother💙 Holding onto you as my inspiration with some new and exciting challenges of my own ahead!
