the scholar athlete @ Hartpury College
“Like nothing else out there”
During prime pandemic zoom time, I gave this talk on the concept of The Scholar Athlete to two groups of students at Hartpury College.
While we’re often fed the narrative that specialisation and extreme focus are the routes to success, particularly with sporting pursuits, there’s fair bit of evidence and some very prominent examples that at the highest level of competition, having diverse interests can be a help rather than a hindrance.
The talk went down well and you can see the slides here.
