Description

Today's episode is a bit different. We dive into the 5 Commandments that athletes follow to achieve lasting success and performance in their sports. Drawing wisdom from legends like Craig DeMartino, Juliet Starrett, Marshall Ulrich, Hazel Findlay, and more, these principles aren't just about physical endurance—they're about mindset, learning, and self-advocacy.

Key Takeaways:

  • Find Your Why: Learn how knowing your deeper purpose can carry you through the toughest challenges, like Craig DeMartino’s journey after a 100-foot fall.
  • Embrace the Learning Process: Hear how Lionel Conacher tackled Mavericks at 58 by staying humble and open to learning.
  • Prioritize the Fundamentals: Juliet Starrett and Diana Fitzpatrick emphasize mastering the basics—recovery, sleep, and nutrition—for long-term success.
  • Move Your Body Every Day: Oympian Tinker Juarez’s daily bike rides prove that consistency in movement leads to longevity.
  • Be Your Own Advocate: Ultra-endurance gravel champ Jeremiah Bishop shows us the power of taking charge of your own health and recovery.

These commandments aren’t just for athletes—they’re life lessons for anyone striving to stay active, healthy, and thriving as the years go by.

Catch the full stories behind these commandments and learn how you can apply them in your own life!
