About this episode
<p>You may know Peter Bol as the 800m runner, who came fourth in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and second in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.</p> <p>Or, if you’re Hugh, you may have hundreds of photos of Peter training.</p> <p>Wherever you are on the Peter-obsession-meter, we think you’re going to love this episode.</p> <p>Our chat with Peter starts in Sudan, where Peter and his family moved as a unit, through Egypt, before settling in Australia. They were chasing safety and opportunity, two values that continue to ground Peter through all of his sporting success.</p> <p>In 2023, Peter was on the most amazing upward trajectory, he'd just become the WA Young Australian of the year and things were looking good for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Then he was completely derailed with a false-positive drug test.</p> <p>Hugh, Ryan, and Josh talk to Peter about how he remained consciously grateful and resilient throughout the entire saga and was able to instil within himself such fundamental lessons around positivity, justice and mindset.</p> <p>Peter, we (Hugh) will see you on the track soon.</p> <p>To watch this full video on YouTube, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/4hC3CnP">https://bit.ly/4hC3CnP</a></p> <p>🎧 Things to listen to:</p> <ul> <li>How To Write A Gratitude Letter - <a href="https://apple.co/3NGhccf">https://apple.co/3NGhccf</a></li> </ul> <p>📺 Things to watch:</p> <ul> <li>Peter Bol’s 2021 Olympic 800m Race - <a href="https://bit.ly/4fhNPbS">https://bit.ly/4fhNPbS</a></li> </ul> <p>📱Apps to download</p> <ul> <li>BBL - <a href="https://bit.ly/4hldXVd">https://bit.ly/4hldXVd</a></li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
