Doing It My Way II Myriam Glez on Finding Your Next Challenge and Athlete's Soul
<b></b><b>Notes</b><br />Myriam Glez is a force in the Olympic world and a pioneer in the world of athletes transitioning to life after sports. She became obsessed with Synchronized Swimming and all that came with it from a young age and quickly climbed the ranks, joining the French National team at a very young age. She ended participating in 4 different Olympics - 2 as a an athlete and 2 as a coach - all for different countries which is unheard of. She literally has seen it all from every different angle. <br /><br />Part of the reason she did not continue for longer than she did with the French National team was because while she was training, she was also accepted into a prestigious business school. The national team gave her an ultimatum and she chose academics. But her decision did not sit well with her and she had a lot of anger towards the fact that she had to even choose between two things that she loved and saw as equally important. So later on, when the opportunity arose to become a pillar for the somewhat green Australian National team, she couldn't resist. After the Beijing Olympics, she "retired" for the second time - this time on her own terms. <br /><br />Even more impressive then her accolades as a swimmer, coach, team leader, manager, etc. is her desire to give back to athletes facing this major shift that she went through twice. With her experience of preparing for, balancing, and experiencing that very real jump that is leaving your lifelong sport, she has turned Athlete's Soul into an amazing space where high-level athletes can safely figure out what's next for them. <br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Timestamps</b><br />3:05 Pursuing business while still training<br />5:00 Australian National team<br />11:44 Intro to Synchronized swimming<br />14:23 I always wanted to be an Olympian<br />20:07 Always been a planner<br />23:19 Facing an ultimatum<br />26:20 No “what ifs” for me<br />28:18 Prove them wrong<br />33:15 “Retiring” a second time<br />36:36 Identity in sports<br />38:25 Finding your next challenge<br />40:25 Athlete’s Soul<br />49:54 Balance<br />51:15 Rapid fire
