What does it take to make it as a professional in MX/SX??
Welcome to MX Mastery, hosted by Jacob Pennisi and Bryan Johnson Jr!
Mastery is defined as the highest level of skill and knowledge in a particular field or activity. That’s exactly what we’re trying to help you achieve in this podcast. Mastery of anything is more of a journey than a destination, and we’d love to have you come along for the ride!
In this podcast, we talk about what we know best; motocross training, and what it takes to get to the top level in this sport. On MX Mastery, you can look forward to everything from conversations with top athletes to topics like fitness, supercross, racing, amateur, professional, etc. If it’s moto, we’re going to talk about it!
In today’s episode, we introduce ourselves and discuss what it takes to make it as a professional in this sport. Our experience as Head Track Trainer (Bryan) and Fitness Director (Jacob) at Millsaps Training Facility gives us a really unique perspective on the sport of motocross. Over the years we’ve seen many riders make it, and many riders fall short. Today we break down some of the qualities we’ve noticed in each.
