I was part of a panel today that included Coach K and Sergey Bubka, who still holds the outdoor/indoor world records in pole vaulting. We sat on a stage and fielded questions from Olympic coaches who wanted to learn more about maximizing an athlete’s potential. I learned quite a bit from the answers of the panel members. Sergey in particular talked about never being satisfied. How every day is a new day. This is a man who broke his own record 35 times!!! He talked about his hunger to want to do more; to learn more and to be more. Very inspirational.
