The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Featuring Blake Collyer, professional golfer, and podcaster Ep 31.
Welcome to The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show. Each week, I get to interview amazing people, who will share their inspiring stories of resilience. I dive deep into wonderful DNMs with my very special guests, exploring their stories of how they have overcome adversity in their lives, professionally and personally.
Get ready to be inspired by their stories, golden nuggets, and actionable tools that can help us all to elevate our mindset, and be bigger than our setbacks. Within every adversity is an equal or greater opportunity. My intention for these sessions is to remind us that no matter what we are going through, we can overcome it, and discover what we are made of.
It is important to feel motivated and hopeful about the future. When we are positive we can be more creative, and innovative. Seeing our obstacles as opportunities, rising above the turbulence we can feel more ready to rebuild our minds, bodies, and lives.
Introducing Blake Collyer
Introducing Blake, a professional golfer playing on the PGA Tour of Australasia and Asian Development tours. He is 25 years old and has been a professional since October 2019. Blake is excited to take his game around the world and achieve as much as he can.
Blake is a member of The Metropolitan Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia, and is passionate about growing the game, helping the next generation, along with health, nutrition and fitness.
Blake’s podcast is called “Never Too Late with Blake”.
I loved chatting with Blake, he has achieved so much already at age 25. When I spoke to him about his life and philosophies he is well beyond his years.
Blake believes that resilience is about how to keep going with a positive attitude.
He thinks it is less about the outcome and more about the process. When a daily process is adopted to be strong in the mind and body, he feels like he is achieving little things that also lead to bigger achievements too.
When Blake didn’t make the men’s state team, he was shocked. He was sure he was in, and this was something he had to overcome in his mind. He had to learn to get out of his head and find stability within himself to face his first rejection. At age 17, this setback was unexpected but it taught him so much. Blake managed to see this obstacle as an opportunity to dive deeper into who he is as a person. He is a warm, empathetic, and talented guy, and it has been so great to see him blossom in his career.
When Blake was at his lowest point, he felt alone and unsupported. When life doesn’t go our way, I am sure we can all relate. The question is, who are we in these moments, how do we reconnect within ourselves, so we can anchor in and find inner stability, instead of seeking affirmation externally? When we can find our inner anchor, we can find flexibility in our minds, to let go of the story we are telling ourselves about how we or life should be.
Since this event, has continued to develop himself as a person and hasn’t looked back. He believes it is a critical part of being a successful athlete.

Blake’s tips:
When you feel alone or unsupported, know that you are worthy of happiness and success and it will come.
Our environment is so important, surround yourself with positivity and people that are like-minded and have your best interest at heart.
Have patience :)
