It's time for Mindset of a Champion Part 3! We are continuing our conversation with 3x CrossFit Games Masters Champion, Kevin Koester. You may have noticed already, but over the last few weeks I have been sharing some insight from Kevin that is taking us on a journey. Part 1 was about beginning the journey with working out. Part 2 was about becoming consistent and starting to compete in your field. This week, part 3 is about taking the next step and moving into competing at a higher level. Maybe you want to qualify for the Boston Marathon or make it to Bass Masters, Kevin shared his insight on what it takes to achieve those goals. What do you think it takes to compete at the highest level?

The FG is the strongest knot from braid to fluorocarbon. It is a constriction knot and, when tied properly, it has the strongest connection. Last week I tested if super glue actually makes the clinch knot stronger. This week I took a look at the FG knot. Does super glue strengthen the FG knot? Should you use super glue even if there is an increase in knot breaking strength?

I am back with another 'Mindset of a Champion' Physical Friday! Last week we talked needing consistency in order to begin your fitness journey. Maybe you want to run an Iron Man or compete at the Cross Fit Games. This week, we are looking at what it takes to take you from someone who works out consistently to being someone who competes. I believe that those who win on the greatest stage might have some insight on this question.

Last week, I tested if spiting on your knot made any difference for the strength of your knot. This week we are testing another requested myth. Does super glue actually increase the strength of your knots? If it does increase the strength, is it worth it to use super glue? Using super glue on a small knot or on a boat often leads to sticky situations. This test will have to be pretty definitive for me to put up with gluing my fingers together.

This week I am kicking off the 'Mindset of a Champion' series! I have received a lot of questions about the mental aspects of being physically fit, achieving personal goals, and excelling in high-level competitions. As you may know, I am currently preparing to compete in CrossFit. Throughout my training and preparation, I have had the privilege of meeting exceptional athletes who are performing at the highest level. In my pursuit of reaching my own peak performance, I have come across valuable insights that I would like to share with you. Over the years, I have gained a great deal of knowledge from my amazing guest. I don't want you to miss out on this valuable insight!

“An imperfect plan executed consistently will outperform a perfect plan executed every now and then.”
