This week’s conversation is with Adeline Gray, one of the top professional freestyle wrestlers in the world, male or female.
She is a 2016 Olympian, five-time World Champion (2012, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019), seven-time World Championship medalist and went undefeated in international competition from 2014-2016.
Adeline’s 2019 World title and fifth World Championship win gave her the title of the most decorated female American wrestler in history.
I wanted to speak with Adeline to understand how she became a trailblazer for her sport - how did she stay the course when there wasn’t one, when there were few role models to look up to?
Adeline’s story isn’t all roses - after going undefeated from 2014-2016 in international competition, she wasn’t able to get it done at the 2016 Rio Olympics, finishing in 7th place.
We discuss what went wrong at those Games and how’s she’s adjusted her mindset heading into the Tokyo Olympics.
I think this is a perfect conversation with the Games only a few weeks out...

0:05.7 | they're allowed to be strong and powerful and being controlled with their own bodies to make |
0:10.4 | decisions about how they want to be in this world. And I think that's the the best thing I could do. |
0:16.0 | It's just kind of have my hard work not just be for me and hopefully it's not just for me because |
0:20.2 | it's really hard. What I do is very difficult and I don't know if it would be worth it if it was |
0:24.7 | just for me. So I really hope there's some little girls and ants of young women out there who |

0:54.3 | And the idea behind these conversations is to learn from people just like them. |
0:59.6 | Those extraordinary people who have organized their inner life to commit themselves towards mastery. |
1:06.3 | And there's two parts of mastery, mastery of self and mastery of craft. And these conversations are |
1:10.8 | really primarily interested in the intertwining of those two, how it takes place. And so our minds |
1:18.4 | are our greatest asset. And if you want to learn more about how you can train your mind, |
1:23.2 | this is just a quick little reminder here to check out the online psychological training course |
1:27.9 | that I created with the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks Peak Carol. And you can find all of that |

1:39.6 | If you've been listening to this podcast, you know how bullish I am on magnesium. It's hard to |
1:44.6 | overstate how important is for our overall health and well-being, especially when it comes to |
1:50.4 | enhancing sleep. So if you're struggling with sleep in any way, I want to invite you to try a |
1:55.8 | solution that has been a game changer for me. I take a glass of water and two magnesium breakthrough |
