Summary

If you watch the Bobby Knight 30 for 30 it brings up a lot of questions and today we explore some of them and what it must have been like playing for Coach Knight. What drives a coach to be that intense? It inspired a discussion today about practicing harder than the game. We look at ways to turn your solo training into something that will have a direct impact on your physical and mental game on race day. How do we move the needle, make tough elements less impactful, dig deeper when it needs to be done on race day? This sport shouldn’t always be hard, but it should be sometimes. On more rep. The narrative you choose is your reality.

Topics:

The continuum of how much you really want something
Tough coaching
When and how to train harder
Does it feel too easy?
Racing outside of your training
Following success stories
Moving the needle more frequently
Choosing harder challenges
Being able to do deep into the well
Split second decisions
When it’s firing on all cylinders
Country Cub in T2
Mental reserves to go deeper
lOne more rep
When you don’t quit
The narrative you choose is your reality
