Summary: Hong Kong's very own Olympic swimmer, Geoff Cheah talks about his experience training as a professional swimmer in the USA and competing in the 2016 Olympics where he won his 50 metre freestyle heat. He has always had to balance is academics and training, and embrace the discipline needed to succeed. Geoff explains the importance and value of peer coaching and helping other young athletes. Geoff shares how he managed to cope with his father passing away at the height of his success and his focus on the need to 'control the controllable' so he could manage all that was going on in his life. Geoff re-evaluated his priorities and considered expanding his horizons. A wonderful interview with a talented and humble young man, who is wise beyond his years.
