Episode 6 Series 1: Reputation Matters with Clinton Bown & Richard Young

Today's guest knows all about why reputation is important. He's been involved in sport at the highest level for over 40 years. He's been through ten Olympic cycles as an athlete, leader, researcher and coach. He's been with Cycling Canada, he's worked with the Belgian Olympic team, the All Blacks and Red Bull, amongst so many leading sports organisations. He's won international gold medals in cycling, coached world champions and created medal winning programs for three countries across innovation, research, learning and leadership. I am thrilled to be catching up with this post-Paris Olympics, high performance guru, and leadership expert, mentor, advisor, speaker and author of “Simplify”, which has been described by international sports leaders as the competitive advantage for the long game. I'm joined today by Richard Young.

In this episode of Reputation Matters, host Clinton Bown chats with Richard about the Olympic Brand and how its Reputation has evolved over the generations. We dive into Richard’s life-time of study across Olympic and Professional sport, into the simplicity of repetitive action and elimination, that delivered the ultimate success in 3 Olympic programs for three different countries, and across numerous professional sporting organisations.
