And his coach said to him, you know, like, that's fine.

You can think about that.

But drawing a picture of it and dreaming of doing it is never going to get you there.

What will, though, are the small daily actionable things.

So every day when you start your day, I want you to write down three things that's going to get you closer to being a gold medalist at 2012.

So it would be turn up for training on time.

Do some extra stretching.

Listen to my coach.

Those three things are going to, they're not sexy and they're not exciting and you can't market them really, but they're going to get you much closer to your end goal than that big ambitious poster on the wall that tells you you can achieve the thing you always want.

And that's really why we wanted to write this book, because we wanted it to provide genuine value for people.

And it's stuff that anyone can do.

Yes.

Well, so I originally came up with two ideas for high performance or for the conversations I wanted to have.

And at the time I was working as a sports broadcaster here in the UK, hosting Champions League football, Premier League football, Formula One.

And one of my ideas was called One Last Thing Before I Go.

And it was a conversation with people who were in end of life care, but it had to be people who weren't ready for the light to be turned off.

People who were still ready to attack the world, who had a reason to live, who had an ambition to remain alive.

And I recorded some of those episodes and quite frankly, they were just too painful to continue.

They were impacting me to a point that I couldn't really cope with them.

But I also wanted to talk about the things I'd learned while doing elite sport presenting for over 30 years.
