Australian born and raised, Jimmy Spithill is a long-time Skipper of the America’s Cup who’s accolades include the youngest ever skipper to win the America’s Cup, and the famous recovery win that is still considered the greatest ever come-back in sporting history.
In this episode, Jimmy reflects on his sailing career and talks through his main motivators - the hard work of his wider team and family, the challenging nature of sailing, and his passion for adrenaline.
He talks about how a high level of commitment is needed to achieve goals, whether you can really adequately prepare yourself to make the right decisions in extreme, high-pressure environments, and the personal sacrifices him and his family make due to his demanding sailing schedule. It is fair to say that Jimmy shows determination and dedication like no other.
