63. Patrick Anderson – Part 2

September 13, 2010 by duffgibson

This is a really interesting part of the interview in which Patrick talks about being a Paralympian and always wondering how he would have measured up in a more mainstream sport.  He can’t help but wonder what level he would have achieved had he played able-bodied basketball or hockey and I think that’s probably a very common characteristic amongst very driven, very successful people.  As we’ve discussed previously on this blog, with the amount of work it takes to reach the top, it’s just not practical without that drive and a real love for what you do.

Don’t forget to have a look at part 1 of the interview (http://wp.me/pHILB-b7) and if you want to read more from one of Canada’s best athletes, I’d also recommend checking out Patrick’s own website (www.patrickanderson.ca).
