S2 E6 The Power Of Positive Thought With Kirsty Fleming
Show Notes

For this episode I am joined by Kirsty Fleming who competed for Australia at World Class level and was part of the Aus Olympic lightweight rowing squad from 2003-2008. 
While cycling on the open road and training for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Kirsty would have a major life turn as she was struck by a car at high speed and suffered major injuries.

While in hospital Kirsty had some hard times as she started to think about what she may and may not ever be able to do again, including not just rowing but competing at the highest level. We discuss the importance of positive thinking in getting your life back on track after adjusting into a life outside of competition. During this time in her life Kirsty decided that it wasn't time to give up yet and worked tirelessly to get back to being able to not just row, but be good enough for Olympic Selection.

This is truely a great story on teaching us the importance of putting your mind towards a goal and not giving up, as well as being grateful for every opportunity what we can build for ourselves by working hard, thinking positively and enjoying every step along the way.
