Adrian Kelly: The lifestyle coach with a 'Success Complex'
In Episode 17 of the Running Tales podcast, in collaboration with Run Tri Bike, Craig Lewis caught up with performance coach, Adrian Kelly.
In his new book, The Success Complex, Adrian explores what success means, and how people can find it.
His current situation is a million miles away from his own life as a struggling student three decades ago. Languishing at the bottom of his class and lacking purpose, Adrian experienced the sting of failure first-hand.
Since then, he has become an award-winning lawyer and forged a new life as a coach whose work centres on mental resilience.
Over the years, Adrian has enjoyed participating in a host of sports, notably baseball but also running, and has developed a series of practical solutions to help athletes at all levels achieve their goals.
In The Success Complex, he challenges common misconceptions about those core skills vital to overcome challenges, mixing stories of historical figures such as Napoleon with those of modern sports stars.
The book looks at how athletes can redefine success and overcome mental limits and explores the balance between hedonic – the thrill of the win - and eudaimonic – finding a lasting purpose – happiness.
