Penultimate Podcast Tyler Ray

I was able to jump into an awesome conversation with Ben Simons, 2x Olympic Bobsled athlete and former Track and Field Decathlete. Ben is a wealth of knowledge in the training world and shares his story and thoughts on areas of training that are too often slept on.

We dive into the need of General Physical Preparation and what that looks like for jumping/explosive athletes, best bang for your buck exercises and how to stay fit during this pandemic!

You can find Ben on IG @benthebounce and his training business @semtex_systems

I have the opportunity to pick the brain of one of the most talented athletes on the planet, Jonathan Clark aka. JClark "The Jumper". Jon is a professional dunker with a near 50" vertical leap, former D1 Triple and High Jumper at UCLA and High School Physical Education Teacher.

We get a glimpse at what it really takes to perform at the highest levels by diving into 5 key areas of the athlete mindset:

1. Persistence
2. Perspective
3. Mindfulness
4. Vulnerability
5. Humility

Do you have what it takes? Are you willing to claw through the hard times to pursue your passions? Or are you just a weekend warrior with visions of grandeur?

This was an awesome conversation and Jon drops knowledge bomb after bomb in this extremely powerful conversation.
