Tom Allen: From Team GB Swimmer to Six-Figure Sales Success in Just Four Years

About This Episode:

The ironies of life … the GB 10k open water swimmer who was scared of ….open water! 🏊‍♂️ 🌊 😱 🤣

But that wasn’t the only thing I learned about ex Aquatics GB open water swimmer Tom Allen as a guest of The Sporting Transition Podcast ….

Here’s what I learnt in the 1st of 14 episodes about ex elite athletes turning their hands to careers in sales 👇

1️⃣ Was primed for London 2012, but just missed out 😢

2️⃣ How a drop in performance somewhat ‘luckily’ coincided with his final year at university – allowing him to double down on successfully completing his degree as a priority 🎯

3️⃣ This slowly and naturally transitioned him away from his ‘elite’ status. 👋

4️⃣ His first objective was honouring his law degree, pursuing a legal career path. ⚖

..but..

5️⃣ Quickly realised he needed something with no limits, no caps, no constraints, no tradition. 💪

.. enter…

6️⃣ A career in sales 🤓 Uncapped, unlimited …. what you put in, you get out.

7️⃣ No regrets, but took time to take stock on everything he had achieved as a swimmer 🏆
