Champion Mindset: From Coma to Olympic Gold

The Mindset of a Champion: From Coma to Gold Medal with Georgie Brayshaw What does it take to come back from a devastating accident, when doctors tell you that you may never walk again, and go on to become an Olympic Champion? In this powerful episode of the ActionCOACH Business Growth Podcast, Georgie Brayshaw shares her journey from a nine-day coma at the age of 15 to standing on the podium with an Olympic gold medal. Her story is one of grit, sacrifice, resilience, and the relentless belief that anything is possible if you refuse to quit. Georgie opens up about:

• The horse-riding accident that changed her life overnight.
• Waking up paralysed on one side and fighting to return to school.
• Training for years without funding, juggling jobs, and pushing through rejection.
• Winning Olympic gold by just 0.15 seconds—a race decided by the finest of margins.
• The daily disciplines, sacrifices, and mindset that made it possible.
• Why her mantra “I can, I will, watch me” is something every business leader can apply.
• How to learn from failure, analyse setbacks, and come back stronger.
• The role of support systems, from her husband Ash to her teammates, in achieving the impossible.
• What it really takes to stay motivated at the highest level, even when the odds are stacked against you.

This is more than a sporting story, it’s a blueprint for resilience and success in business and life. Whether you’re leading a company, chasing personal goals, or overcoming your own challenges, Georgie’s message is clear: never give up.
