5 Questions a Sports Psychologist Asked Me That Changed My Life.

In 2005, I had a chance encounter with a sports psychologist who played an integral role in my decision to quit my corporate career and travel around the world. I want to share with you the five questions that literally changed my life. You never know; maybe something might click for you and prompt you to take massive action - a new job, relationship, travelor embark on a crazy arsed adventure.

How it came about

Back in 2005, I worked for an investment firm in the City and was introduced to a potential client who turned out to be a sports psychologist, who worked with premiership footballers, and Olympic athletes. Over lunch, we discussed potential investments opportunities, and In conversation, I mentioned that I often had trouble sleeping. At that point, he started to ask questions about my evening routine, and the conversation turned into more of an unofficial counselling session. At this point, I was a brash 25 year working in the City. I was making great money, thought I knew everything, and if I'm honest, was most likely a bit of an arrogant knob - the epitome of a City alpha male stereotype. 

Anyhow...

The next hour just flew by, and the conversation, or should I say counselling session, developed into a deeper conversation about life, goals and future ambitions. I felt so comfortable talking openly about things I'd never really discussed before. He had a way of making you feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. Genuinely interested in what I had to say. Looking back now, it's apparent he was clearly very good at his job.
