Have you ever found yourself looking at a successful person thinking... "their life seems perfect" or  "its easy for them because they are so successful" or "they are so lucky". I know that I have. Sometimes I look at athletes and think that their life must me so easy, surely they don't have the problems that I have. 

Just because someone is successful doesn't mean  that their life is easy, that they dot have their own set of challenges to face. Join me as I talk to Dr. Mitch Anderson about the challenging moments in his life that nobody saw. Sometimes we see all the successes without seeing or appreciating the struggle that sits behind each successful moment.

Mitch's achievements are truly incredible (below is a taste for you)

• World 12h Record (491km) March 2017
• World 24h Record (894kn) April 2018
• 8-time Hawaiian Ironman competitor (best placing 11th overall)
• Bike course records: IM WA, IM OZ, Geelong 70.3, Strongman Japan
• 30-time Ironman finisher
• Winner Ironman WA 2005
• Winner Strongman Japan 2009
• Tour de Crawf Melbourne to Perth ride 3600km in 3 weeks (2013)
• Five–time University Blue award (cycling).

But it is not his sporting achievements that define him. Mitch is a ripper bloke who is just like you and me. He deals with the same setbacks and feelings that we all do at times. His ability to push through those moments is inspiring to say the least. Quitting is not an option no matter how hard it gets.
