0:00.0	Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.
0:12.2	All right, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.
0:16.9	And today I am coming to you with a guest interview.
0:22.7	Today's guest is Matt Vincent.
0:29.3	Matt has a very interesting story and I think it translates to just about everybody.
0:36.1	And specifically, I think his mindset is really interesting. I tried to really dig into that when we talked about it.

1:24.5	And he was quite good at it.
1:25.8	So he ended up winning it twice and then was runner up
1:29.8	two times after that. But after that stretch of success, he ended up getting a knee injury.
1:35.8	And this knee injury went from kind of a little bit of a road bump to quite a journey for him.
1:43.7	He ended up having to have surgery on that knee
1:45.7	eight times after that injury post Highland Games runner up. And the last one was essentially
