EP015 - Athlete | Leader - Tom Carroll on Application, Analysis Paralysis and the Importance of Process (including his Four Pillars for High-Performance)

Tom Carroll is best known as one of the world’s greatest ever surfers and sportsmen. He holds two world professional surfing championships and three wins at Hawaii’s mega-challenging Pipeline. However, and more importantly, he envisioned and pioneered for surfing to become professional; and, if you’ve seen the state of surfing of late, he succeeded.

Tom is also a man who has lived, and learned, and lived and learned again. A man of his stature and nature has endured and processed the many ebbs and flows of life. What’s absolutely alluring about Tom is the sparkle in his eye for fun and joyous expression that has never ceased as he continues to climb the metaphorical mountains of performance and personal best.

On a personal note, I have spent a lot of time talking to and learning from Tom over the last few years. I appreciate many things about him – his ability to give you focused attention when talking about topics of interest; his kind and caring nature for not only his closest circle but for anyone whom he meets – new friends or old fans; his love and dedication for the sustainability of our beloved ocean and the planet; and his drive and determination to continue to pursue personal greatness alongside personal best.

We all would know Tom as an athlete but these days, Tom holds various roles in a diverse range of businesses and surf-inspired charities, as well as, coaching and as a trained and certified Vedic meditation teacher.

Please enjoy my conversation with the effervescent, Tom Carroll on The Mapplife Podcast.
