Summary
What motivates you? It seems to me that each athlete is motivated by driving forces that uniquely play to their greatest fears. While the experiences that shaped those fears may be as varied as the individual themself, common themes can be observed across the board. Get John and Tex’s take on motivating factors in this week’s conversation.
Motivation can come in a lot of forms. Some of it is as transparent and shallow as the carefully chosen filter used to promote it. When it comes to consistently driving performance, what sticks? What do the most proficient athletes feed on to commit to their training day in and day out? This week we dive into just that with a talk dedicated to motivation.

| 0:40.6 | I'm sitting here with Mr. Chris McQuilkin, aka Tex, and I had a few questions for you. |
| 0:46.0 | We just got done doing a podcast on Hammer. |
| 0:47.9 | And I wanted to discuss with you motivation. |
| 0:50.0 | We're getting ready to do this Hammer 90. |
| 0:51.5 | And I wanted to just kind of do a little bit of a deep dive into motivation. |
