This episode is SOOOO good! I sit down with Dr. Jason Novetsky of Champion Mindset Group (Birmingham, MI) ad we talk the "Athlete mindset" and #BEASTMIND mentality. We discuss different points of performance and how athletes can dial in to get the most out of their training or push through adversities. Probably one of my favorite interviews to date and a ton was learned by me so I hope you get a lot out of it as well.
