#6 - Perspective: Pete Reed OBE
When the things you celebrate in life go from winning Olympic gold medals to just being able to put your pants on it’s fair to say things have changed a fair bit..Pete Reed OBE is one of Britains greatest ever Olympians and one of the best rowers the world has ever seen. Three consecutive Olympic gold medals at Beijing, London and Rio highlight a glittering career spanning 16 years. Genetically though it’s not that surprising seeing as Pete is 6ft 6 and has the worlds largest recorded lung capacity at 11.68 litres. It’s not just a rowing boat where Pete has excelled either he also has an engineering degree from Oxford and is an active officer in the Royal Navy. Yep he’s one of those people who can do it all. And you’re going to hate me when I tell you he’s also a bloody lovely, humble bloke too!.Everything in life just seems to go the right way for some people, that is until it doesn’t…On the 7th September 2019 Pete suffered a spinal stroke that would take him from being one of the most physically capable men to ever walk this planet to being told he may never walk again. Less than two years later Pete is still throwing all of his experience and determination at his recovery and I have no doubt that whatever his injury allows him to recover he will..It was a real privilege to speak to Pete, I took a huge amount away from our conversation and also it was great to end on a high with an exciting announcement!.We talk about:DeterminationDisciplineTransitioningSupport networksPerspectiveReality& so much more..Enjoy!.Follow PeteInstagram: @petereedTwitter: @PeteReed............................A big thank you to our sponsors the coaching academy..The Coaching Academy are the world's largest life coach training provider and do an absolutely amazing job, teaching every day people to make a difference to the lives of others …..every day.I attended The Coaching Academy’s training myself and experienced first hand the power of life coaching.
