This week’s special bitesize clip features the engaging and illuminating Jo Konta, former British No.1 women’s tennis player who won four singles titles, reached the semifinals of Wimbledon and rose to a world ranking of number 4. In this powerful clip we spoke about the loneliness of pursuing a path of excellence.

Jo learned that when she began reducing her resistance and started seeing the benefits - what it was teaching her - the struggle dissolved. Listen to the full excellent episode with Jo here: https://www.thehighperformancepodcast.com/podcast/jokonta - - - - - -Watch all our episodes on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPerformancePodcast/videosFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highperformance/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/highperformancepodcastJoin our new Telegram: https://t.me/highperformance_circle Hosted on Acast.
