The sprinter Michael Johnson had a very peculiar way of running... not at all common. With this, he won 9 world championships and 4 Olympic golds. One day, a journalist asked him: “Do you think that if you had run like the other runners you would have been a better athlete?” And he, very smart, answered: “If I had run like them I would have become one of them.” The best version of oneself is achieved when one has the courage to enhance one’s virtues even if it is challenging the status quo or what the whole herd thinks. Albert Batalla is a university professor, but I think you will understand his figure better if I tell you that he is the Michael Johnson of motor skills learning, training... and life. You can listen to his wisdom in the podcast, in Catalan, or in English in the YouTube video of the episode.
