0:00.0	When are we going to stop seeing the kind of exponential growth in terms of what we've
0:04.4	were accomplishing on the human performance side from, you know, you look back at Andy Thore's
0:09.5	daughter and there's a lot of footage of this like her at the 2009 games, you know, she's this
0:13.6	rail skinny little thing trying to get her first muscle up and cleaning her snatch was 105 pounds
0:23.2	to where she is now, you know, snatching 200 pounds, you know, in the middle of this 15 test
0:29.2	events, you know, and massively fatigued. I think we're still in the midst of the hockey stick

1:35.8	is how we'll optimize our health and happiness. That chasing excellence is how we grab hold

1:48.2	Hello and welcome back to another episode of Chasing Excellence. How are you been?

2:01.2	that we've had this podcast. We kind of the first time you and I get back together after the games,
