Dwain Chambers — Olympic Sprinter & Youngest-Ever World Championship Medalist — from The Learning Bridge with Richard Gerver
Today we're excited to bring you an episode from The Learning Bridge, a BE Podcast Network show hosted by Richard Gerver, one of the world’s leading thinkers on human potential, leadership, and organizational transformation.
In this conversation, Richard speaks with Dwain Chambers. Having come from an abusive and challenging home, Dwain discovered a talent for athletics and became the fastest teenager in the world. He is the only man in the world to have broken 10 seconds in the 100-meter sprint in three different decades, is an 8-time British 100M champion, has won multiple world athletics medals, and has competed against the likes of Carl Lewis and Usain Bolt. But his career was blighted by doping and performance-enhancing drug use.
In this candid and provocative episode, Dwain talks frankly about all of it and what he has learned along the way. He shares how he uses his experiences to work with a new generation of potential athletic stars. Education, discipline, role models, and trust are topics of discussion.
