Victoria Pendleton

Über diese Folge

<p>Gabby' s guest today is one of Britain's greatest ever Olympians. Victoria Pendleton is a nine-times world champion cyclist who won gold at two Olympic Games — and then, just to keep things interesting, retrained as a jockey, attempted Everest and walked a high wire over the Olympic Stadium. </p><br><p>Victoria has never been someone who stands still. She has a new book out called The Fear Opportunity, and at the centre is a powerful idea — that the things that scare us most are actually the greatest opportunities we have to grow. But this book is also something much more personal than a self help guide, and Victoria talks with real openness today about the experiences that shaped it. </p><br><p>She is a brilliant Midpoint guest because her whole life has been about pushing through fear to discover what you are truly capable of — and she has learned some hard lessons along the way that she shares with extraordinary honesty. This is an inspiring, moving and honest conversation. Victoria's book The Fear Opportunity is out now and is published by Bluebird.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
