What 20 years in gymnastics teaches you about life with Olympic Gymnast Emma Nedov
Thursday, 11 September, 2025
Alright girl, today I’ve got Emma Nedov on the pod. If you don’t know her — she’s a two-time Olympian, an Australian gymnastics champion, and a woman who has lived the full arc of chasing a dream, breaking down, walking away, and then coming back stronger. Emma’s story is wild. She trained for 20 years, missed out on the Games more than once, retired, and then — three years later — made the comeback of a lifetime to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics. What I love about Emma is her honesty about the falls, the pressure, the heartbreak, and the grit it takes to rise again. She’s proof that falling isn’t failure — it’s part of the process. In our conversation, she shares the 10 lessons gymnastics gave her that now fuel her life outside the sport — lessons on resilience, patience, fear, identity, and why the goal is just a guide. This one is raw, inspiring, and full of wisdom for any woman who’s chasing something bigger than herself. Why Listen Because you’re not afraid of falling—you’re afraid of not getting back up the right way. Press play for a blueprint in resilience that actually translates outside the gym. What We Cover Learn how to fall. It’s not about avoiding failure — it’s about falling with dignity and rising with choice, not obligation. Patience is power. The results you want take years, not weeks. Learn to love the long game. Perform under pressure. Nerves don’t disappear; you just learn how to move with them. Do the session you don’t feel like. That’s usually the one that changes you. Visualization is a weapon. See it, feel it, practice it — and your body will follow. Sleep is non-negotiable. It’s the quiet performance tool nobody respects enough. Fuel like an athlete. Food isn’t punishment or reward — it’s a tool for power, strength, and longevity. Don’t chase perfection. You’ll never control the judges, the scores, or the outcome — only your own performance. Build your board of directors. You need people around you who believe in you when you don’t. The goal is the guide, not the prize. Who you become in the process is the real win. Key Takeaways Resilience isn’t heroic; it’s practiced. Tiny fails count. Your feelings don’t run the show—your preparation does. The most rewarding sessions are the ones you wanted to skip. Control the controllables: your focus, your execution, your recovery. The goal is a north star, not a verdict. The practice is the point.
