Justin Gatlin: From Olympic Gold to Coaching the Next Generation

The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman

On this episode of The Burn Podcast, I'm fired up to sit down with Justin Gatlin, Olympic gold medalist, world champion sprinter, and now a highly sought-after coach and mentor. In this powerful conversation, we dive into the world of elite athletics, exploring the mindset, dedication, and resilience required to reach the pinnacle of success. Justin shares his journey from being a young athlete with big dreams to becoming one of the most accomplished sprinters in history.

We discuss the challenges he faced along the way, including the highs and lows of his career, and how he developed the mental toughness to overcome adversity. Justin also opens up about his transition from athlete to coach, and the impact he's making on the next generation of athletes, including my own daughter, Kennedy Rose.

Throughout our conversation, Justin drops nuggets of wisdom on the importance of discipline, hard work, and living each day with intention. He shares insights from his best-selling book, "Ready, Set, Go," which is not only a memoir but also a guide to activating your mindset for success.

If you're someone who is chasing big dreams and striving for excellence in your life, then this episode is a must-listen. Get ready to be inspired, motivated, and equipped with the tools you need to ignite your own purpose and resilience. NOW. WE. GO.
