Jonny Huntington

Jonny Huntington, an elite para-athlete, skier and mountaineer, a former British Army Officer and ultra-distance runner at Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team (AFPST), British Army, and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst discussed suffering a brain bleed in 2014 leaving Jonny paralysed from the neck down on his left side, leading to extensive rehabilitation and discharge from the Army. We also discussed: 

- Holistic understandings of sport
- Objectives of sport
- Enabling ownership of happiness
- Complicated relationships with happiness
- Biological mechanical viewpoints
- Incentives 
- Intellectual and physical challenges 
- Creating a shift in interpretation of success
- Enjoying experiences more than the athlete endeavour 
- Removing external pressures
- Treating events as a rehearsal or practice 
- No pressures, just completion
- Operating in stressful situations
- The relationship between psychology and physiology
- Unforced errors under fatigue
- Understanding what, why, and how
- Cognitive and physical entities 
- The power of the internet 
- Being analytical 

I hope you all love this this conversation as much as I did...
