| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. It's your host, Nees Showbo. This is another episode of bars. |
| 0:06.0 | It's where I break down an excerpt from a great track or something that I read from a book. |
| 0:13.8 | Now, the book I'm getting ready to break down, this book probably is among the most used in terms of bars in the whole entire time I've |

| 1:11.6 | Incredibly, incredibly practical and written so plainly and simply and has such real life applications |
