“Fear blocks me more than it helps me.” - M.Mihambo
|
|
MINDSET, POTENTIAL, AND STAYING CALM
|
In the latest episode of FRODENO GOING MENTAL, I sit down with Malaika Mihambo.
Olympic champion. World champion. And someone whose way of thinking about performance feels both powerful and unusually calm.
Very early in our conversation, Malaika describes herself as calm, deep, humorous and philosophical. That gives you a pretty good sense of what makes this episode special.
We talk about what “going mental” means to her, why she sees sport as a way of unfolding potential in a healthy way, and why fear is not a useful driver for her.
What stood out to me most is how she thinks about success. Not as a result to chase, but as a feeling to step into. She visualizes the feeling of already having achieved the goal.
It’s a conversation about performance, but also about self-awareness. About competing with yourself. About quiet confidence. And about the idea that there is still potential inside you worth exploring.
It’s thoughtful, honest and quietly intense — just like Malaika.
You can listen to the full episode now on all major podcast platforms.
