The Competitive Drive with Gordon McArthur
Manage episode 438322805 series 3517603
Today, we dive into the mindset of a competitor. Gordon McArthur has been a staple on the World Cup circuit across 15 seasons, including a one-year retirement. We talk about the particular highs and lows of returning to the sport, the story of Storm Giant (the first proposed D16 in the world), and what role ego plays in it all.
In particular, our conversation hovers around themes of drive, our relationship to competitiveness, and understanding our true motivations.
We also chat about:
- 🧊 The moment of retirement: Inner Mongolia, 2017
- 🧊 Challenges and reflections from Edmonton
- 🧊 Mentorship and the legacy we leave behind
- 🧊 The story of Storm Giant
- 🧊 Advice for younger climbers
