Learn how to catch yourself : it’s possible, I did it
This video is a extract of a long in-depth interview I had with Linda Nobat for her brand new channel Spotlight, which you should follow now.
These 20 minutes are taken from a 90 minutes interviews dedicated to my book Champion Mindset to be released on May 13, and even more on my journey, my methodology, and how I can help people to grow.
In the video Linda asks me why it took me so long to write this book. My answer gives a fair vision of what I’ve tried to do with it.
« The book is about how to put yourself in motion to reach your goals and your dreams. And I in my book, I go through my example because when I was a kid and then a teenager, I had absolutely no chance to succeed, for many reasons.
I was extremely shy to a point that I was unable to talk to people. I was sick. I was bad at school. I was a failure in everything. I traumatizing experiences that made it even worse. And I I was having basically a traumatizing experience every single day because when you are a failure, every day just confirms that you are a failure.
And I found a way to get out of that. And from the moment I started to decide to put myself in motion and solve my problems to become the same person, but with all the attributes to succeed, it took me ten years. And I did it myself. And that’s why the subject of the this book is how to coach yourselfIn order io be able to to be this person that is ready to achieve his dreams and his goals. When I was 26, I felt I was ready to do everything.
I got rid of all my problems. I was confident. I was ready because I was young. I was hungry with a lot of energy. I had to do something. It was coaching. And what I did for myself, I did it for others. I took a lot of players at some moments of their lives, first, when they were starting, so they did nothing. I had to help them build themselves up and become successful. Some others were at very difficult moments of their career. And we had to kind of « reset » them and get them ready to win again. So now that I’ve done it with many different athletes in many different situations, I know it works and I’ve proven it. Not only with me, but with a lot of other people. I thought now it’s time. Now that I’ve done that and also this book is not full only of my experience but all those experiences lived with so many different people facing failure and finding a way to transform that into success. I can give many anecdotes and examples so it makes it more real. It’s like at school when you learn theory and there is the practical and I love the practical much more than the theory.
The real purpose of the book is to help people. I would even say to help people help themselves. For me, we all need a coach. That’s ideal. But if you think about it, less than 1% of the people will be able to pay for a coach. So what’s happening to the the other 99%? I thought : « I coached myself ». I was unable to put myself in in motion and I found a way out by coaching myself. So I thought : « Why don’t I give this to other people? Why don’t explain to them how to do it? Why don’t motivate them, give them the motivation to just start to be in motion because actually that’s just one of the the chapters of the book is to put yourself in motion. »
