E287 That Greats Business Show - Olympian Colin Jackson: Why I Don’t Even Like Sport (and other business tips)
That Great Business ShowShow Notes
Most people think Olympic champions love sport.
Colin Jackson says something shocking on Episode 287 of That Great Business Show with Conall Ó Móráin. He admits he didn’t even want to be in front of the camera… and he doesn’t really like sport the way people think he does. Instead we talk about: • how dreaming creates opportunity • why aligning with winners matters • the brutal lesson he learned at the Olympics • why confidence can destroy you • the real difference between champions and the rest of us • what business leaders can learn from elite athletes
Jackson also tells the extraordinary story of crashing Daley Thompson’s Porsche and what the Olympic legend taught him about life. This conversation was recorded live at the National Concert Hall with thanks to the Welsh Office at the British Embassy in Dublin.
