Building Olympic Resilience with David Gillick

February 24, 2025

Paddy Delaney

On this week's podcast, episode 324, I chat with Olympian, David Gillick about resilience and his journey and how he got through some really dark days. Something we will experience as investors. David shares some fun and interesting stories

 

David is one of Ireland most successful sprint athletes. He stepped off the track in 2013 after a successful athletics career which included winning Ireland’s first sprint gold medal in 76 years when winning the European Indoor 400m championships in 2005. He went on to retained his title in 2009 and became an Olympian in 2008.

 

David currently works in a number of areas, mainly corporate wellness and performance. Consulting and supporting organisations, teams and individuals in realising their potential and operating efficiently and effectively to achieve their respective goals.

 

I hope it helps.
