Career Competitor: Finding Our Motivation Through Athletics

Since LSU Athletics’ Steve Mellor returned to the Tiger swimming staff in 2015, he has helped launch a number of elite swimmers into record-breaking showings within the SEC as well as at NCAA championships. In the water, his student-athletes have set school records in the 50, 100, and 200-yard freestyles, stood on gold and silver medals podiums at conference championships, and represented LSU with pride as they swam in NCAA championships. With a knack for identifying domestic and international sprint talent, Mellor has a keen interest in finding what makes these champions tick.

He has taken these talents to dry land and expanded on this quest to understand what motivates elite athletes and to learn what drives them to be their best both inside and outside of their sport. Through detailed and personal interviews, Mellors podcast aims to shed light on the traits that are found and evolve through high-level sport participation that remain relevant in the pursuit of success in careers outside of sport. Furthermore, from listening to real life accounts of successful professionals, listeners will be provoked to reflect on their greatest personality traits and inspired to apply them within their careers. We are so excited to host Career Competitor as part of the Healthy Tiger family.
