[02:08.640 -> 02:10.420] Hi there, welcome along to this short,
[02:10.420 -> 02:13.560] sharp hit of inspiration from the High Performance Podcast.
[02:13.560 -> 02:16.200] As well as giving you the full extended hour-long episodes,
[02:16.200 -> 02:18.280] we just want to offer you the opportunity
[02:18.280 -> 02:20.320] to tune into us for five or six minutes
[02:20.320 -> 02:22.340] to be uplifted, to be educated,
[02:22.340 -> 02:24.460] and learn even more about the people
[02:24.460 -> 02:28.200] who've done amazing things in the world that we live in. I can't wait for you to hear this
[02:28.200 -> 02:32.120] week's episode. A quick reminder that without Lotus Cars we simply wouldn't be
[02:32.120 -> 02:35.840] here. They're the founding partners of the High Performance Podcast so we love
[02:35.840 -> 02:39.920] you Lotus for being involved. If this is your first time I suggest you go right
[02:39.920 -> 02:43.240] back to the beginning and start listening. We've got over 30 episodes of
[02:43.240 -> 02:49.920] the podcast that you can binge listen to. But right now, we're just going to tune into a man who came on the podcast
[02:49.920 -> 02:54.000] and totally blew people away. It's Johnny Wilkinson.
[02:56.800 -> 03:03.280] For me, high performances is about absolute engagement. Instead of at the time of playing
[03:03.280 -> 03:05.520] rugby, it was more about what is
[03:10.040 -> 03:15.760] What is a good game look like? What is a good number 10 look like what is a good career look like I look at It now I've been like what what would be you know, a great life lived and no answer
[03:16.720 -> 03:19.560] Satisfied me until I sort of started to
[03:20.160 -> 03:25.600] Vaguely feel right, which was all of me in every moment and that's performance. You're either
[03:26.200 -> 03:29.000] fully attentive and engaged or
[03:29.680 -> 03:35.720] You're not and that presence that I guess that deep involvement is performance
[03:35.880 -> 03:38.280] There's for me. There's no other way of defining it
[03:38.580 -> 03:44.120] Look Damien the reaction to this particular podcast is like nothing that we've ever done before and I still try
[03:44.280 -> 03:46.240] as much as possible to live
[03:46.240 -> 03:48.880] with a mantra of all of me in every moment.
[03:48.880 -> 03:52.580] And me and you are bombarded every day on our social media
[03:52.580 -> 03:54.600] by that brilliant thing of people telling us
[03:54.600 -> 03:56.760] this podcast has changed their lives.
[03:56.760 -> 03:59.520] That interview with that man changed my life.
[03:59.520 -> 04:03.520] I think it was profound and I think it was incredibly
[04:03.520 -> 04:07.000] humbling to have been in the presence of it whenever I speak to people about it. ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn anhygoel i fod yn y cyfnod hwnnw pan fyddaf yn siarad â phobl amdano.
[04:07.000 -> 04:12.000] Rwy'n credu yr hyn rwy'n ei ddysgrifio yw pa mor hynny o'n hynod o hynny o'n teimlo,
[04:12.000 -> 04:16.000] y byddai'n ein hystyried i ni ddod a chyflawni'n cymharn i fel y gafodd ei wneud,
[04:16.000 -> 04:21.000] i siarad am ein teimladau iechyd mentol, i siarad am bywydu'r rygbi,
[04:21.000 -> 04:23.000] ymdrechu'n ei wneud yn hytrach na'i gwybod.
[04:23.000 -> 04:29.400] Ac yr hyn sydd wedi'i ddysgu o'r proses honno a'r lefydd da sydd wedi ei gwrthwynebu rugby, enduring it rather than enjoying it. And what he's learned from that process and the dark places he had to visit was
[04:29.400 -> 04:29.900] incredible.
[04:29.900 -> 04:34.400] And I think a lot of people have got an awful lot of help, support and almost
[04:34.400 -> 04:38.900] reassurance that if Johnny Wilkinson has struggled with it, it's okay for me to
[04:38.900 -> 04:40.700] admit that I struggle occasionally too.
[04:40.700 -> 04:44.900] And the thing I love about when people talk to us about being all in, you know,
[04:44.900 -> 04:45.000] Steven Gerrard was exactly the same and Johnny Wilkinson with his all of me in every moment. occasionally too. And the thing I love about when people talk to us about being all in, you know,
[04:51.000 -> 04:51.120] Steven Gerrard was exactly the same and Johnny Wilkinson with his all of me in every moment. The key I think with with that
[04:52.640 -> 04:54.480] Damien is focusing on just doing the right thing,
[04:54.480 -> 05:00.640] focusing on the moment that you're in, the task that you're completing at that one moment rather than a month, a year, a
[05:00.840 -> 05:02.280] lifetime down the road.
[05:02.280 -> 05:08.960] Focusing on the now not the outcome. Definitely. So worry, which is one of the things that Johnny has spoken about is the
[05:08.960 -> 05:15.400] idea of worrying about expectations. So what our current state is and then the worry about
[05:15.400 -> 05:20.880] the gap of what might happen. And I think like you say, the brain has got the ability
[05:20.880 -> 05:31.040] to go into three directions. It goes forward where it worries, it goes backwards where Mae'r ffynon yn gallu mynd i ddrew ddrethau, mae'n mynd ymlaen, lle mae'n bwysig, mae'n mynd yn ôl, lle mae gennym ddiddordeb, neu gallai byw yn y moment. Ac rwy'n credu pan fyddwn yn seilio ar byw yn y moment,
[05:31.760 -> 05:36.640] mae'n ddiffogi'r bwysigion a'r anxietaethau hyn, oherwydd mae'n rhaid i ni gael ein cyfathrebu ar yr hyn rydyn ni'n ei wneud.
[05:36.640 -> 05:42.080] Felly fel roedd Jonny yn rhoi'r cyfrif ar y podcast mwyaf o wasgu'r potau yn ei gyfansodd
[05:42.080 -> 05:49.280] mae'n unig o'n sylfaenol iddo iddo i'w gynllunio'n ddiweddar i'r diweddaraeth 2003, washing the pots in his house is just as significant to him as kicking a goal in the last minute of the 2003 World Cup because you're using your body in that
[05:49.280 -> 05:53.640] absolute moment to achieve an objective. And I think the point I want to make to
[05:53.640 -> 05:56.280] people that are listening to this thinking well look once again it's a guy
[05:56.280 -> 06:00.680] that's won a rugby World Cup how can that apply to my life? The point here is
[06:00.680 -> 06:08.160] and and it's actually a brilliant thing about being fully engaged in the moment rather than worrying about the outcome is that it
[06:08.160 -> 06:13.800] can apply to every life to every job to every career to everything all the time
[06:13.800 -> 06:19.240] I mean Suzy Ma who joins us on the podcast who founded Tropic she sort of
[06:19.240 -> 06:22.160] puts it a different way but it's exactly the same thing isn't it Damien where she
[06:22.160 -> 06:26.640] talks about passion and she says you have to have passion for everything you're doing
[06:26.640 -> 06:27.480] all day long.
[06:27.480 -> 06:29.220] You can't just have passion for one thing
[06:29.220 -> 06:30.960] and no passion for anything else.
[06:30.960 -> 06:33.160] You need to be a passionate person.
[06:33.160 -> 06:34.880] And that's exactly the point that he's making.
[06:34.880 -> 06:36.600] If you just live totally in the moment,
[06:36.600 -> 06:39.480] totally passionately, giving it your all,
[06:39.480 -> 06:42.000] all day, every day, the good stuff will follow.
[06:42.000 -> 06:43.680] Just trust the process.
[06:43.680 -> 06:44.880] Absolutely.
[06:44.880 -> 06:47.520] You know, again, to recount some of the wider messages y dydd, bydd y pethau da yn dilyn, dim ond creu'r broses. Yn unig, i ddod yn ôl i rai o'r gwybodaethau mwyaf,
[06:47.520 -> 06:49.760] sgwrsodd Jonny fod yn byw yn ei fywyd,
[06:49.760 -> 06:51.840] yn arwain ar y moment hwnnw o'r rhan fach.
[06:51.840 -> 06:53.600] Felly roedd ei wythnos yn cael ei ddod yn ôl,
[06:53.600 -> 06:58.560] yn ymwneud â'r argyfwng, yn arwain ar yr 80 munud o'r diwethaf.
[06:58.560 -> 07:00.960] Ac roedd yn dweud nad oedd bywyd yn dda iawn i'w gael.
[07:00.960 -> 07:03.280] Y ffyniad o ddewis yn y morfan,
[07:03.280 -> 07:04.560] y ffyniad o fynd i'r gwmpas,
[07:04.560 -> 07:05.520] y ffyniad o mynd i'r cerdd, y ffasiwn o
[07:05.520 -> 07:09.520] mynd i'r hyfforddiad, mae'n unig o bwysig i'r ffasiwn rydych chi'n ei ddangos
[07:09.520 -> 07:13.280] yno, ar bai byddwch chi'n teimlo'r cyfle o weithgaredd.
[07:13.280 -> 07:16.560] A gweldwch, efallai ydych chi'n person sy'n clywed y podcast High Performance
[07:16.560 -> 07:19.360] oherwydd eich bod chi eisiau cyflawni mwy, neu eich bod chi
[07:19.360 -> 07:23.680] yn cyflwyno'n fawr iawn, ac eich bod chi eisiau eich cyflawni
[07:23.680 -> 07:25.000] yn fwy o ffasiwn eto, neu efallai ydych chi ar ddechrau ymdrech achieving a great deal and you just want your cup of passion filled up again.
[07:25.200 -> 07:26.800] Or maybe you're at the start of a journey
[07:26.800 -> 07:29.280] and life's actually a bit tricky and a bit confusing.
[07:29.280 -> 07:30.720] You're not sure which way to turn.
[07:30.920 -> 07:32.880] I think it's a really sound bit of advice
[07:33.080 -> 07:36.520] from the big names and the high achievers that have joined us over the past few
