Shaun White’s Ultimate Redemption

Tony Robbins uncovers the art – and science – of the comeback in this interview with snowboard legend Shaun White. As a three-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder, Shaun knows a thing or two about success. He turned snowboard pro at 13 and skateboard pro at 16. He has the most wins of anybody in the history of the extreme sports event the X Games. Uploaded 29-06-20His phenomenal wins didn’t come without a fight. How can you take those hits and come back? The answer lies in a deep sense of self-belief. Shaun started life with asthma and a heart defect that required surgery, but his parents never put boundaries on what he could accomplish. He says, “From the get go I believed I could do it. I saw the pros and I knew I could get to that point.” You too can create this deep belief in yourself using the tips at https://www.tonyrobbins.com/building-confidence/how-to-believe-in-yourself. Shaun also used his failures as fuel. Instead of being defeated, losing drove his desire to win. And make no mistake – to Shaun, second place or a silver medal was losing. When he was injured at 17 and he only earned fourth place, he was destroyed. Yet he used that loss to push himself, and the next year he won every competition he entered. Shaun says, “It’s the little things that can push it over the edge. If you get second place, don’t party. Hit the gym. I always try to think of ways to go that extra mile.” And it shows.Shaun faced another pivotal moment in the 2018 Olympics. Four years earlier at Sochi, he finished a disappointing fourth place in his best event, the halfpipe. At the time, he admitted he just didn’t have it in him. The excitement of snowboarding was gone. But then came 2018. Shaun had to do back-to-back 1440s to beat Ayumu Hirano – and he did. He used visualization to make his goals a reality.
