Jonny Huntington, an elite para-athlete, skier and mountaineer, a former British Army Officer and ultra-distance runner at Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team (AFPST), British Army, and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst discussed suffering a brain bleed in 2014 leaving Jonny paralysed from the neck down on his left side, leading to extensive rehabilitation and discharge from the Army. We also discussed: 

• Holistic understandings of sport
• Objectives of sport
• Enabling ownership of happiness
• Complicated relationships with happiness
• Biological mechanical viewpoints
• Incentives 
• Intellectual and physical challenges 
• Creating a shift in interpretation of success
• Enjoying experiences more than the athlete endeavour 
• Removing external pressures
• Treating events as a rehearsal or practice 
• No pressures, just completion
• Operating in stressful situations
• The relationship between psychology and physiology
• Unforced errors under fatigue
• Understanding what, why, and how
• Cognitive and physical entities 
• The power of the internet 
• Being analytical 

I hope you all love this this conversation as much as I did...
