Thanks for watching! Read all about Apolo Ohno here 👉🏼 https://bit.ly/richroll539 America's most decorated Winter Olympian, Apolo is an 8x Olympic medalist in short track speed skating legend, a television commentator, New York Times bestselling author and serial entrepreneur. This is a conversation on intention, mindset, and the mental health repercussions faced by Olympians. My hope is that it helps you form a more holistic idea of who you are and what you want to offer the world, and breaks whatever illusion you have about what an Olympic athlete is and is not.
