I Am... With Jonny Wilkinson

Life is to be found in the unknown and so is the now. A willingness to engage with it and be present in it offers us a greater influence over the future.

Today on I Am, Jonny shares the story of his late friend Steve Black, also known as Blackie. Blackie was a born and bred Geordie who had a relentless pursuit of greatness. He was honest, transparent, and completely motivated in all that he did. He was a successful coach in almost every professional sport with pretty much every team you could imagine, coaching individual athletes and succeeding everywhere he went. Jonny speaks to how Blackie always knew how to get his players out of their comfort zones. Blackie was an off-field captain and a motivational genius, bringing everyone to that space of why not? And to the realization that anything is possible. In this episode, Jonny shares the lessons he learned from Blackie and how he has been such an influence and guiding force in his journey.

Big questions in today episode:

What are the key ingredients for great performance and constant improvement?
What if that voice in our minds supported us unconditionally, trusted in us absolutely and guided us to seek uncomfortable new space and to stand tall, embrace and explore it?
How can we be our own best teammate?
