How Hans Struzyna Turned Olympic Failure into Success

“Rowing taught me it’s not about how high you can jump or how fast you can run, but how much you can give to the team.”

What does it take to succeed at the highest levels of sport, the Olympics? How do you leverage your natural strengths, overcome adversity, and stay focused when the stakes are high?

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Hans Struzyna, two-time national rowing champion and Olympian, to explore the deeper strategies behind his success. Hans opens up about the critical importance of mental toughness, understanding your natural strengths, and how finding the right team dynamic can make or break you. We also dig into how he shifted from the discipline of elite sports to excelling in real estate, using the same mindset and work ethic.
