Athlete Motivation: Part 2 - The Sock Doc


Listen Later

Many athletes fail to make progress or they see their fitness regress due to three main factors:

  1. You become injured
  2. You are training improperly
  3. You’ve simply lost the desire to train, or train like you used to
  4. Dr. Stephen Gangemi, the Sock Doc,  joins The Nation to discuss the science behind motivation.  From your brain to your gut, we will discuss the physiological and mental aspects of motivation and how you can regain the Eye of the Tiger!

    Here are the links to the first two articles that are the basis of this podcast:

    Athlete Motivation Part 1: It's In Both of Your Brains

    Motivation Part II: Healing and Optimizing Your Two Brains

    Motivation Part III: Why Your Motivation Stinks, Literally
