Apolo Ohno shares his most valuable lessons for overcoming
challenges with resilience, creativity, and purpose. In speed
skating, a hard pivot is an aggressive shift of direction that
requires courage, practice, and split-second timing. For Apolo
Ohno, the most frightening hard pivot of his life didn't happen on
the ice--but rather, when he had to hang up his skates for good.
"After my final Olympics, I felt confused, vulnerable, and adrift
without purpose," he says. "Yet that's when I realized my
experiences had given me something much more valuable than medals
and memories. I had tools I could use to shift my life in a new
direction--and most importantly, these were tools anyone could
benefit from." With Hard Pivot, Apolo combines practical guidance,
personal stories, and deep insights from the psychology of success
into a resource to help you through challenging times. Here he
shares his most valuable lessons and tools, condensed into the Five
Golden Principles: - Gratitude: A daily practice to help you
maintain perspective, cultivate empathy, and alleviate stress -
Giving: How to elevate your life's purpose by offering your time,
attention, and resources to others - Grit: Exercises to build
mental stamina, resilience, and toughness to persevere through hard
times - Gearing Up: Ways to prepare yourself to meet the unknown
with flexibility and grace - Go: Develop the courage to take risks,
learn from success and failure, and come back stronger When life
drastically changes--whether by choice or circumstance--the hardest
part is often letting go of what was familiar and stable. Yet in
Hard Pivot, Apolo provides the tools and inspiration to create a
new life filled with greater purpose, wisdom, and joy. "You can
trust yourself," he writes. "You can lean into the curve, pick up
momentum, and speed down the track to success. In that pivotal
moment, you might even find that you're having the most fun you've
ever had. You're in flow. You're enjoying your precious life. And
you're winning."
