Three Olympic gold medals, five World Championship titles, twelve world records – for older sports fans, Michael Groß was the hero of our youth. I remember how, as a 15-year-old, I stayed up late at night in front of the TV, cheering on "our" Albatross during the finals of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
I remember vividly how, even back then – much like the mental coach I would later become – I wondered: "What's he thinking right now – there on the starting block?"
Today, Michael Groß is a successful management consultant, author, and university lecturer. And almost exactly 35 years after his first two Olympic gold medals, I was finally able to ask him my questions. We talk about the pressure of expectations, defeats, surprises, goals, and much, much more. Stay tuned!
I remember wondering, just like the mental coach I'd become. If you'd like to get to know Michael and prepare yourself for the business topics of the future, I recommend his 2020 workouts in Frankfurt am Main: https://www.gross-cie.com/de/unterneh...
