Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
In this week’s podcast we return to the theme of High Performing Humans as I chat with a friend and triathlete I used to coach, Dan Williams. Dan entered the triathlon world a few years ago and was drawn to the challenge of Ironman, despite the fact that he could hardly swim. We both laugh about the fact that when I first met Dan at the pool my first words were, “You’ve got a bit of work to do then!” Fortunately, hard work is something Dan isn’t afraid of and since that first meeting, his triathlon progress has been rapid. At the same time, he was working his way up the business ladder. When we met he was Sales Director for Orean Personal Care, the company for whom he is now Managing Director.
Dan has two small boys (Bear and Rain) with his now ex-wife, and as you can imagine he has a lot going on in his life. However, as you’ll hear during our conversation, he is incredibly mindful of keeping his life balance so that he can be a good father to Bear and Rain, be effective at work, and achieve his triathlon goals. With only 24 hours in the day, this requires careful attention to make sure everything stays on target instead of crashing to the ground.
