Marcus Daniell - There's A Relationship Between Rest And Pushing Too Hard

This week's guest is professional tennis player, Olympic medallist and founder of the brilliant High Impact Athletes organisation, New Zealander, Marcus Daniell. The chat you're about to hear is a very honest one from someone who's learnt so much from the journey he has taken. It's easy to think that being a professional athlete means that, not only do you know everything about preparation and performance, but that you also have an entourage around you to help and guide you. For the huge majority of those that make a living playing sport professionally, there is no full time support group and they are often doing the majority of their work on their own. Being self-sufficient is something we talk a lot about and how you can become more self-reliant and pro active. Going to an Olympic Games and how being part of a bigger group really added value for him and we expand upon the mistakes he has made and the learnings from it all. Away from the court the obvious drive that Marcus has, propelled him into starting up an organisation called High Impact Athletes, which aims to assist sports people with charitable giving and that’s a rich part of the diet of topics that we touch upon this week, but we start with how he had to chose, at a pretty early age, between tennis and football, two sports he was playing at international level.
