Today I\u2019m talking to Kelly Slater, the greatest professional surfer of all time. He\u2019s been the world surf league champion 11 times and he holds 56 Championship Tour victories. He\u2019s the oldest surfer in the World Surf League at the age of 51. And he\u2019s still winning championships. He won his 8th Billabong Pipeline Masters title at the age of 49. As you\u2019ll hear in the episode, he\u2019s headed to the Olympics too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kelly started surfing when he was 5. By age 10, he was winning titles. So I wanted to know how he stayed passionate about surfing for more than 45 years without burning out. We see so many other people who after just a few years of doing something they love, walk away because it\u2019s no longer fun anymore. This seems to be especially true when people turn their passion into a competition or when they try to earn money by doing something they love. Sometimes, it just isn\u2019t fun anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, Kelly talks about how he manages his mental health, and he explains how he\u2019s stayed passionate and competitive without burning out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
