Create a winning mindset- lessons from LA Galaxys Jonathon Bond

This special episode contains some golden nuggets on what it takes to become a professional footballer, and more importantly the essential habits, behaviours and mindset required to get to and stay at the top of your game.  Jonathon first came to me as a fresh faced 13 year old with a goal to become a professional footballer. With the odds against him (fewer than 1% of aspiring footballers make it to professional standards) and life long lessons that he made along the way, Jonathon has proved that with clear focus, discipline and a tonne of support, dreams do come true. Now, at the age of 29, he is the starting goal keeper for the prestigious LA Galaxy and was presented 'defender of the season' in 2022.   Elite sportsmen and women are consistently judged for their performance on the pitch and it was wonderful to get inside the mind of such a class player to see a different perspective from that of the keyboard warriors and arm chair critics. Jonathons wise beyond his years and has so much to share to aspiring athletes and people who want to better themselves.  Jonathon and I haven't seen each other since I immigrated to New Zealand over 10-years ago so this was a wonderful reunion and an episode that I'll cherish.  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
