In this episode, we have Travis Macy, the team captain of Team Endure in the World’s Toughest Race. Travis is the son of the esteemed adventure racing personality, Mark Macy, who also joined the race on the same team. Just like his father, Travis is also an accomplished Adventure Racer. In this podcast, Travis talks about their journey as father-son tandem, and the mindset shift he has made coming into Eco Challenge.

 

In this episode, you will hear:

• The achievement loop amongst athletes
• The concept of “Thinking about Your Thinking” when it comes to your what & why
• Travis’ consistency of always finishing races and how that mindset changed coming into the Eco Challenge
• The support Travis provided his dad during the race and accepting shifting roles – helping and accepting help
• Making the decision to stop
• The concept of “Never quit except when you should”
• “There’s a time to dig deep and forge ahead, and then there are times to go a different route”
• Letting the course take you out
• Spending less effort moving away from the things you don’t want and spending more effort to do the things that you do want.
• Tools or routines that Travis has to manage mental health on a daily basis
