Bitesize: Dealing with nerves - Michael Johnson
05/13/22 • 8 min
1 Listener
Whenever we step into a performance situation - whether it is giving a speech or presentation through to an Olympic final - it is normal to experience nerves. Many people try to bat such feelings away, or even believe they shouldn't be feeling that way, but if you can make space for those feelings - truly welcome and befriend them - then you can channel the power of adrenaline to help you. To illustrate this is Michael Johnson, the star of the 1996 Olympics in which he won 200 & 400 metres gold, decimating a world record in the process, and all while wearing golden running shoes.
