Episode • Feb 14 • 45m

If you watch the Bobby Knight 30 for 30 it brings up a lot of questions and today we explore some of them and what it must have been like playing for Coach Knight. What drives a coach to be that intense? It inspired a discussion today about practicing harder than the game. We look at ways to turn your solo training into something that will have a direct impact on your physical and mental game on race day. How do we move the needle, make tough elements less impactful, dig deeper when it needs to be done on race day? This sport shouldn’t always be hard, but it should be sometimes. On more rep. The narrative you choose is your reality.
