Hour 61: Uncomfortable Is OK podcast with Chris Desmond, Episode 22: The Art Of Surfing with Matt Scorringe.
For those of you who don’t know, Matt Scorringe is an Ex Surf Pro, turned Surf Coach and the founder of The Art of Surfing.
Today’s takeaway: To succeed you have to step out of your comfort zone…and yes it will be uncomfortable. I didn’t realise that many New Zealand surfers struggle in events overseas becasue they are were not exposed to the variety of waves and wave breaks we’re exposed to all year round.
Therefore when they entered an overseas competition, they were way out of their comfort zone and would often get smashed due to their lack of practice in unfamiliar surf conditions. Those that succeeded, put in the time and money to train in these unfamiliar conditions until the uncomfortable became comfortable. Those that stayed in their comfort zone, in New Zealand, failed.
My Thoughts: How often are you challenging yourself, or are you just going through your normal day-to-day motions playing it safe? How often are you doing things that make you feel uncomfortable? If you’re never uncomfortable, you’re never going to growing.
