Physical Conditioning & Mental Training for Combat Sport

14 Nov, 2018

In this episode I go DEEP with Commonwealth Games gold medalist and 5 time National Team member Nick Ugoalah about the physical conditioning and mental training it takes to become a world class wrestler.

It’s a fascinating conversation because what Nick shares is applicable to any combat sport and not just wrestling.

(It also shows you how damn hard you have to work to become an elite competitor in a sport.)

We cover physical conditioning, refining technique, developing a winning mindset, recovering from injury, fixing imbalances in your body, optimal mental state for competition, and much more. I think you’ll like this one, and if you do I would love a rating or review of this podcast on whatever platform you listen to it on!

You can catch this interview in two ways: video and/or audio format…

I also released this same conversation in audio format on my Strenuous Life Podcast.

(If you don’t know what a podcast is think about it as a free, on demand radio show that you can listen to on your phone and skip over any episodes or portions that you find boring. Podcasts have changed my life because they turn unproductive driving time into productive learning time.)
