016 | Sports, Medicine & Mental Strength: Lessons From the Pool to the Medical Field w/ Peter Szekely

Bridger Deaton Season 1 Episode 16

In this episode, I sit down with Peter Szekely — a former competitive swimmer and  medical student abroad in Hungary. We talk about the connection between sports and medicine, and how the discipline, mental fortitude, and persistence built in the pool have carried over into the intense world of medical education.

Peter shares what it's like to study medicine internationally, how cultural differences shape healthcare systems, and why personalized patient care is the future. We also dive into common health myths, the importance of prevention, and why education is key — for both patients and providers.

If you’re into fitness, healthcare, mindset, or just want a real conversation about what it takes to chase hard goals, this one’s for you.
