085 - The Art of Perfection: How Gymnastics Builds the Next Generation of Business Leaders.

This episode features an interview with Megan Fenton, Center Manager for the Richardson Gymnastics Center. Fenton, a former elite gymnast and UCLA alumna who achieved a perfect ten on the uneven bars, discusses the unique nature of her city-run, high-quality gymnastics facility and the immense value of youth sports in developing successful adults. She shares her coaching philosophy, which focuses on a "longer game" approach to training that prioritizes health and deep understanding of skills to prevent burnout and fear, contrasting it with the early-peaking elite track. Fenton, who holds a degree in math and economics, emphasizes that the discipline, time management, goal-setting, and ability to accept criticism learned in competitive athletics are directly transferable and highly valuable skills in the business world, making student-athletes highly sought-after employees.For a summary and to connect with the guest, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/company/business-decoded-podcastProduced by www.andycostafilms.com
