OPTIMIZE with Brian Johnson | More Wisdom in Less Time

So, we’ve been pretty intense lately with all this “Champion” talk. Before we go any further, I want to make one thing REALLY clear. Basically: You’re ALREADY a Champion.

Continuing our time with world-class CrossFit coach Ben Bergeron, let’s look at another one of his champion characteristics: Positivity. But, first, let’s take a look inside his gym in New England. Come along, file in. Look at the wall and notice this dictum front and center: NEVER WHINE. NEVER COMPLAIN. NEVER MAKE EXCUSES. Roger. Got it.

A few +1s ago we spent some time with world-champion CrossFit coach Ben Bergeron. Let’s have another quick wisdom session with this coaching genius.

In our last +1, we talked about the science of social comparison and reiterated the fact that it’s toxic. Remember, as per Sonja Lyubomirsky: “You can’t be envious and happy at the same time. People who pay too much attention to social comparisons find themselves chronically vulnerable, threatened, and insecure.”

In our last +1, we talked about the fact the John Wooden and Vince Lombardi paid very little attention to what their competitors were doing. They focused on what THEY wanted to do and then relentlessly chased perfection as they tried to do it as well as they could.

A couple +1s ago, we talked about Vince Lombardi and John Wooden chasing perfection and catching excellence. Today I want to chat about something else they had in common.

In our last +1, we talked about Ben Bergeron, Vince Lombardi and John Wooden and their pursuit of perfection and excellence. Today I want to chat about Ben Bergeron’s philosophy a bit more.

In our last +1, we talked about Ben Bergeron—the CrossFit Games coach whose athletes have won six world championships. I briefly mentioned his book: Chasing Excellence.

In our last +1, we talked about my mission to become a Spartan World Champion. My heart skips a beat just typing that.
