Podcast Review
Within The Game by Aaron Wexler is an inspirational, motivational podcast that is a MUST listen for all athletes. Learning about becoming an inspired athlete changes an athletes ability to perform. Aaron is inspiringly dedication and passionate about his work, and his passion rubs off on his audience.
Superb!
Aaron is such a great dude and an amazing host. As a fellow podcaster, this podcast is a favorite to turn on. Great conversations, great stories, great tips and tricks to level up each day! Would HIGHL RECOMMEND this show!
Excellent podcast
Aaron is an amazing volleyball coach who really knows how to motivate young athletes! He inspires my daughter on the court and we enjoy listening to his podcast together. I love how he is able to get to the core of what really inspires his guests- inspiration is something so valuable but yet is often lost in our busy lives. Can’t wait to read his new book when it comes out!
