What's behind the mental game of a dog? Brent Sass, one of the world's greatest dog mushers, tells us
Episode 60 of The Mental Game features Brent Sass, one of the greatest dog mushers in the world.
A titan of the industry, Sass has etched his name as one of just six to win the two biggest sled dog races: the Iditarod (2022) and the Yukon Quest (2015, 2022).

NOTE: I'm thrilled to be running in the Chicago Half-Marathon this September to support Laaser's Ladybug Society. We're close to our goal of $2K to support mental health initiatives in schools — CLICK HERE TO DONATE.
The Mental Game is also a proud partner of Laaser's Ladybug Society, which is a designated 501c3 organization combatting the stigmas that surround mental health by actively fundraising to support mental health initiatives and innovations in our school system. The mental health challenges faced by our youth are unprecedented and it is time to get off the bench and get in the game as we fight for the mental wellbeing of the next generation.
