#99 Olympian Matt Lydement. Applicants and Olympians have a LOT in common Becoming Badass

This episode is completely different to anything else we've ever had on here! Today I chatted with my friend Matt Lydement. He's recently wrapped up at the Tokyo Olympics. I wanted to get him in to talk about what it actually takes to prepare for an Olympics. Physically and Mentally. To be so on the TOP of your sporting game that you can represent your country on a world stage. Funnily enough though, a lot of it is about mindset.   



Matt talks to us about preparing for an Olympics that got cancelled and then still not allowing himself to get excited in case Tokyo 2021 didn't go ahead. He trained from home during all lockdowns. He could have used any excuse he liked to avoid training, but he never did. He only EVER showed up.


Matt has a lot of wisdom to offer all applicants. So many principles we discussed carry over to applicants. Turns out preparing for the Olympics and preparing for the ADF/Police/Fireys actually have a lot in common


We're so proud of Matt. He gave it absolutely everything and we are gunning for him a the next Commonwealth Games! To follow him on Instagram, click here
