Manage episode 314946020 series 3292297
Part1: Olympic Highs and Lows
Elite judo is a rollercoaster, just ask Matt D’aquino. A Beijing Olympian, Matt was reduced back to “green-belt level judo” after the 2010 rule changes forced him to re-invent his fighting style to make a run for the 2012 Games. In Part 1, Matt shares the process of breaking comfort zones to reach goals, and how he deals with situations when things don’t quite go to plan.
Part 2: Strategy and Selling (33:10)
Matt breaks down the “game” of judo to outsmart an opponent in the most effective and efficient way possible. As a bonus, we discuss how sharing his knowledge online allowed Matt to fund his time as an elite athlete.
