Australian Sports Commission’s Post

When it comes to commitments in sports, should offers once made and accepted be rescinded? The recent development in the International Olympic Committee – IOC #Singapore Swimming Team raises some thought-provoking questions. Should the original team members who qualified for the Olympics be kept, or should one be replaced by a non-original member with an Olympic invitation? How do factors like past Olympic participation or career stage impact such decisions? Encouraging youth to dedicate themselves to sports and excel on a global stage is tough. The case of Quah Ting Wen highlights the challenges athletes face. What are your thoughts on this dilemma? How can we best support and uphold commitments to athletes striving for excellence? Whatever your response, it’s heartbreaking for Ting Wen Quah. The following quote from her probably says it best: “I will say the same thing that I said three years ago: I do not want this to ever have to affect anyone again,” CNA SPH Media The Straits Times #swimming #singapore #olympics #paris Link to the full article: [Read more](https://lnkd.in/gHNPnSbj)

1ne Talent Agency are very happy to welcome Jack Rex Burnell as our newest addition to it's speaking roster! Jack Burnell, a retired Olympian swimmer, carved his name in the archives of open water swimming history with a silver medal at the 2016 European Open Water Swimming Championships in the 10 km race. However, his journey took an unexpected turn at the 2016 Rio Olympics when he faced disqualification in the same event. In 2017, Jack seemed to make a comeback by clinching gold at the FINA World Cup in Abu Dhabi. However, beneath the surface, he continued to grapple with the emotional aftermath of the 2016 Olympics. The looming World Championships in Budapest that same year brought to light Jack's inner turmoil, as he candidly shared his battles with depression, triggered by the disqualification. Following these challenges, Jack decided to retire from competitive swimming. However, his commitment to high performance persisted. Jack transitioned into a new role as a performance mindset coach, bringing his wealth of experiences to benefit individuals and organizations. Notably, he found a place in the world of football, working with prestigious teams like Brentford Football Club and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Jack's coaching approach is not rooted in academic psychology but rather drawn from the crucible of real-life experiences on one of the world's biggest sporting stages—the Olympic Games. He emphasizes the key characteristics required for peak performance, whether in the Olympic arena or the corporate world.
