Beyond the Finish Line - Mental...

Zane Ryder

Mental toughness is one of the most significant qualities that separates elite athletes from the rest. It is the inner strength that enables individuals to push through challenges, rise above setbacks, and perform at their highest level despite the mental and physical demands of competition. But what exactly is mental toughness, and why is it so crucial in sports?
At its core, mental toughness refers to the ability to maintain a positive mindset, focus under pressure, and persist in the face of adversity. It’s not just about enduring pain or fatigue but also about staying resilient when things don’t go as planned. Athletes with mental toughness embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, which is what allows them to keep going when others might falter. It’s a quality that empowers individuals to conquer their doubts, maintain confidence in their abilities, and perform consistently, no matter the circumstances.
The role of resilience in sports cannot be understated. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. In competitive sports, athletes will inevitably face moments of failure, disappointment, or frustration. A mentally tough athlete doesn't let these setbacks define them. Instead, they bounce back with determination, learning from mistakes and using those experiences to fuel future success. This resilience isn’t just physical; it’s mental. It’s the strength to push past the urge to quit, to stay committed to long-term goals, and to persevere when the outcome seems uncertain.

Reboot - How to Manage Career...

Issac John

'It's hard for me to say this, knowing the great feedback most of my peers had for you, but at this stage for our business in India, we just require someone who has some more entertainment marketing experience than you do. Hence, we wouldn't be taking your candidature forward for this position.' 
 
When Issac quit his dream job of Head of Marketing at PUMA in 2015 and took a career break to study screenwriting in New York, little did he know what he had signed up for. 
Over the next eighteen months, he would face over a hundred rejections from famed brands, headhunters, publishers, talent agencies and producers. After being rejected in the final interview rounds of brands like Uber, Netflix and Airbnb, he slowly and steadily clawed his way back into a mainstream career. Issac went on to lead a team of over a hundred people at Discovery, having built their direct-to-consumer OTT business in Asia-Pacific (discovery+), and has authored two books - all in a span of five years since that career break. 
Over the past two years, Issac spoke to more than fifty working professionals, all of whom went through a break in their career for various reasons. Reboot is an intimate, honest and rich compendium of all those experiences, mistakes, lows and highs that people confronted with a career break go through. It shares the message that no matter the odds you are up against, a career break is always temporary, and, in many cases, it can even prove to be life-changing.
