Fully Engaging in the Second Part of Life - with Joe Jacobi
Joe Jacobi is a former American Olympic gold medalist in white-water slalom canoeing. He won the gold medal with his doubles canoe partner at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. After retiring from competitive sports, Joe moved to La Seu d’Urgell in Catalonia, Spain, where he immersed himself in the local culture. He learned to speak Catalan and now works as a performance coach online. Joe values deep and meaningful connections and enjoys writing and creating.
Key topics discussed:
- Combining high performance principles with life transitions and defining peak performance for yourself
- Finding purpose and balancing inner and outer self
- Importance of finding the right sports and staying healthy in retirement
- Choosing activities that lower the risk of injury and learning movements right
- Connection between health and creative pursuits
Joe believes that it's possible to create the life we want, but we have to be willing to do the work. That's where the peak performance comes into play - it's all about consistency over time. You don't get good at something by trying it once, but rather by repeating it countless times. It's the same with anything you want in life. So the key is to prioritize what's important and ensure that these are what you're focusing on in your day.
