Everyone has their own start line.
It might be walking out in front of 80,000 people at the Olympics. Or starting a new job, a difficult conversation, or a chapter of life you didn't plan for. The feeling is the same: exposed, uncertain, everything about to change.
I know that feeling better than most. I'm a two-time Olympian in the 400m hurdles. I competed at the highest level of world sport, won European titles and world medals, and struggled deeply with my mental health along the way. I retired at 28, at my physical peak, because I had to choose myself.
What I learned about fear, identity, purpose, and what it really takes to perform under pressure, didn't stay on the track. It applies to anyone striving to be more.
Start Line Thinking is ten honest lessons from the world of elite sport, written for anyone standing at the edge of something that matters. Not a self-help book. Not a motivational manual. Just hard-won truth, told straight.
I hope it helps you stand on yours.
