In this episode we chat to former British Open squash champion, Anthony Ricketts, to learn about what decision making looked like for him as a professional athlete. We discuss the early decisions that set him on the pathway to success, the challenges of dealing with serious injuries, and the choices he faced as he tried to find a career after squash.KEY TAKEAWAYSSurrounding yourself with colleagues or mentors who are more skilful or experienced than you are is critical if you want to improve.And having a clear focus and a degree of single-mindedness is a key attribute if you want to reach 'elite levels' in your profession.WHAT TO DO?In addition to subscribing/following our podcast, you can sign up to follow our BLOG at https://goodbetterright.com.au..../follow-good-better- We'd love to hear from you as we plan for future seasons and episodes, and will be sending out a survey soon.
