Episode 1754. What if? The "what if" fight. Cause killer pain or relieve killer pain. When you build personal bests, you win the "fear" fight--the fear of "what if."  Don't allow fear to do what it never did before. Don't allow it to turn muscle to mush by changing what you used to do 100% of the time to 10%. Featured is the music of Toby "The Magic Epic" Juan. Blunt Talk Podcast is guaranteed TO LIFT.

Episode 1753. Fantasy. At the end of the game when coaches and players get interviewed about their loss, they say, "I don't know. We gave 110%," or, "We weren't prepared." Come on, you know the game was coming but you didn't prepare? It's easy to confuse workout sense with non-sense; confuse giving 100% effort with 10% effort.

Episode 1752. Just One Won. The reason only one team gets to win the championship ring is because just one team figured out the solution to not fighting you and instead fighting the other team.

Episode 1751. Plain view. Evidence is relevant or irrelevant depending on what you've trained your team to do. All those opinions, based in zero evidence, obscure plain-view evidence that would have placed value on your opinion. World-view and work-view get skewed.

Episode 1750. The lenient mind. The mind that searches for lower and less. It shows up when the work has been done and the glory has been won.

Episode 1749. Game of lies. The worse kind of lies—self-lies. You didn't do it to yourself all alone, believe your lies.
