ANNOUNCEMENT: After having to keep this top secret for number of days ? I can finally confirm and announce that I have agreed to join @athleticsaustralia in the newly created position of Technical Athlete Consultant. For some time, I have felt a strong purpose in helping to inspire the next generation of athletes in Australia ?? This high performance position will provide me with another platform, to influence the emerging and elite athletes included in the sport’s national program. As an Olympic gold medallist and multiple world champion, I will be helping to mentor targeted athletes and their coaches, working closely with identified athletes in building key strategies and programming as well as playing a key role in driving performance culture and outcomes ? As Technical Athlete Consultant, I will also be supporting athletes within the Tokyo 2020 team, ensuring that they are doing everything possible to maximise their potential. The decision to join @athleticsaustralia is not a decision I have taken lightly, but after careful consideration I believe I can make an impact on our nation’s elite squad. Looking forward to what lies ahead ✊

Shining... • • • The question isn’t whether or not you have magic, or whether or not you shine. The question is do you have the space to? Is it being smothered by the people around you? Is it being dimmed by your own action or inaction? Don’t you know? You’re already lit. You’re already magic. Show us. ✨□□

Fabio Basile gets insightful.

Tutti, all’inizio della gioventù, sanno qual è la propria Leggenda Personale. In quel periodo della vita tutto è chiaro, tutto è possibile, e gli uomini non hanno paura di sognare e di desiderare tutto quello che vorrebbero veder fare nella vita. Ma poi, a mano a mano che il tempo passa, una misteriosa forza comincia a tentare di dimostrare come sia impossibile realizzare la Leggenda Personale... Sono le forze che sembrano negative, ma che in realtà ti insegnano a realizzare la tua Leggenda Personale. Preparano il tuo spirito e la tua volontà.
