| 0:00.0 | There's a part of Hirox where you have to really love to hurt. It attracts a lot of athletes that are in sports that require a lot of mental strength. If you're going to achieve something, one, you've obviously got to believe it's possible, but two, you've got to put in the work to get there. And I think a lot of people might be willing to put in the work, but don't believe in themselves enough to believe that it's possible. When people train every day hard as much as possible, |
| 0:22.2 | it's normally out of the place of fear, as in fear that they won't win or fear that if they |
| 0:26.5 | don't train today, it's going to result in a bad race on their race date, whatever it is. |
| 0:30.3 | I think a lot of the time it does come from fear. So if you can teach people how to just be |
| 0:35.6 | focused on the session that they're doing on that day and experiencing |

| 1:17.7 | I was a really young elite gymnast. |
| 1:19.6 | And then after that I got into gym and running. |
| 1:22.4 | So I was kind of already living in that hybrid athlete life before it was technically called being a hybrid athlete. |
| 1:29.4 | And then it was actually friends of ours. |
| 1:31.7 | So Lucy Davis, you guys interviewed her. |
| 1:34.8 | Yes, another epic human. |
| 1:36.3 | Yeah, so epic. |
| 1:37.8 | And we met her before high rocks came to Australia. |
| 1:42.1 | So obviously it's only been in Australia for three years |
