In speed skating, a hard pivot is an aggressive shift of direction that requires courage, practice, and split-second timing. "In life," says Apolo Anton Ohno, "we all face moments when we must make a hard pivot-times when we must adapt, reinvent, and find renewed purpose in the face of profound changes. " With Hard Pivot, this Olympic gold medalist and bestselling author offers an invaluable guide to anyone facing uncertainty, hardship, and loss of identity in the ever-shifting landscape of our lives. The world sees Ohno as an athletic superstar. "But inside," he writes, "I faced challenges like anyone else. The inner voice that once motivated me became toxic, amplifying my fears and insecurities. " Through each crisis-in his athletic career and beyond-he developed new habits and practices that helped him restore inner balance and overcome the odds. Now he shares his most valuable insights: his "five golden principles" for adapting and thriving in the face of chaos, self-doubt, and pressure. "We' re told that our toughest opponent is ourselves," Ohno says. "Yet if we only treat ourselves like an obstacle to overcome, even our successes will never feel lasting or meaningful. " With Hard Pivot, he offers more than a method for accomplishing your goals-he helps you develop faith in yourself, unshakable resilience, and a clarity of purpose that will light your path through any challenge.
"In Hard Pivot, Apolo Ohno guides readers as they embark on their own journeys of transformation--offering valuable insight and techniques, and giving you the courage to keep moving forward. " --Billie Jean King, world-renowned tennis champion and author of All In"Like so many of us who are professional and Olympic athletes, Apolo Ohno is no stranger to overcoming incredible obstacles, self-doubt, and failure--and all in the public eye. But it' s his skill for applying these seemingly outward experiences to our inner worlds that is truly unique. Hard Pivot shows all of us how to discover what brings the most meaning and value to our lives and how to keep those things front and center as we face challenges or crossroads along the way. " --Jeremy Bloom, Olympic skier, NFL player, and author of Fueled by Failure"Apolo Ohno lives a life where he works every day to train his mind and spirit for peak performance. In this book he takes us there with him on that journey, and he shows us how we can do it too. " --David Creswell, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience, Carnegie Mellon University "As a culture, we tend to have a collective discomfort around endings and loss. And yet these painful experiences happen to each and every one of us at some point in our lives. Based upon Apolo Ohno' s lived experience, Hard Pivot offers a courageous ' training program' that will help anyone navigate the inherent turbulence that arises when the game of life requires us to let go and face the reality that nothing is permanent. " --Douglas Jowdy, PhD, author of The Gold Medal Mind"In these times of incredible uncertainty--for individuals and businesses alike--it' s even more important for us to stand in our strength, adapt proactively, and lead with heart. With Hard Pivot, Apolo Ohno invites us to see the process as the prize itself and to show up again and again to what life has to teach and offer us. " --Lauren Sallata, chief marketing officer for Ricoh North America and former chief marketing officer at Panasonic North America "We all experience struggle in our lives, especially around times of transition. With his Five Golden Principles, Apolo Ohno offers a system not only to find our way again but to rediscover our purpose. " --Dr. Jason Wersland, founder of Therabody "All transitions come with challenge, and Apolo Ohno reminds us that it' s within the struggle that we find growth. That we' re in control of who we are and who we want to be. In Hard Pivot, he shows us, through his honesty and humility, that we are not defined by just one label, person, or profession--we can be many things. Apolo' s refreshing take on the unknown, taking risks, and having the courage to do so will inspire and relate to readers from all walks of life, in any season of change. " --Janet Evans, five-time Olympic medalist and motivational speaker
