E247 Apolo Ohno - Lessons in Greatness and Realizing Massive Dreams from the Most Decorated US Winter Olympian of All Time

Apolo Anton Ohno claimed his first major speed skating title at the US Championships at the age of 14—after just six months of training. Over the next decade and a half, he went from kid prodigy to the most decorated US Winter Olympian in history—a title he still holds—earning eight Olympic medals in short-track speed skating across the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Winter Games.

Tyler and Apolo’s discussion focused on how Apolo became a champion short-track speed skater and found success after hanging up his skates, with Apolo sharing how he leveraged micro-trauma, mindset and hard pivots to propel him forward.

Highlights include:

• How Apolo’s career in short-track speed skating began
• The micro-trauma, grueling training and early success Apolo experienced as a kid
• When Apolo realized that mindset was the key to unlocking his full potential
• How Apolo leveraged sports psychology and embraced a new, extreme way of strength and conditioning 
• Changing the mind by changing the body
• How elite athletes leverage setbacks and/or micro-traumas to become world class in their sport
• Apolo's five golden principles and why you must choose the hard path when reinventing yourself
• FOPO
• Apolo’s advice to anyone with big dreams
