About this listen

Procrastination isn’t a flaw, it’s a human experience. Even elite athletes face it. In this powerful conversation, former Olympic sprinter Dwayne Chambers opens up about procrastination, identity loss, radical responsibility, and what it truly takes to rebuild after public failure. He shares how shortening the “procrastination window,” developing deep self-awareness, and taking full ownership of mistakes became the turning points in his life and career.
Dwayne speaks candidly about the consequences of poor decisions, the freedom that comes from honesty, and the importance of apologizing, making amends, and moving forward without blame. He introduces his transformative “Four Fingers and One Thumb” framework, a practical way to stop pointing outward and start taking responsibility for your future.
The conversation also explores mentorship, coaching young people, finding balance beyond high-performance culture, and why discovering your core interests is essential for long-term fulfillment. From fatherhood and personal growth to building resilience and purpose beyond sport, this episode is a masterclass in self-leadership and second chances.
