The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown 268_How to Become an Athlete for Life: Mastering Fitness, Nutrition, and Resilience with Luka Hocevar
Welcome back to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show!
Today, I’m excited to talk shop with Luka Hocevar. Luka is the founder and co-owner of Vigor Ground Gym in Slovenia and Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance in Seattle. He is also the creator of Vigor Ground Fitness and Business Summit, one of the industry's most respected educational events for coaches and gym owners. Luka has personally coached over 3,000 clients, from elite NBA, NFL, UFC, and MLB athletes to rehab patients and individuals from all walks of life, aiming to look, feel, and perform at their best.
In today's episode, Luka and I chop it up about some big topics that go way beyond the gym. We discuss how real coaching extends beyond workouts and meal plans, addressing every aspect of life, including stress management, time management, and self-discipline. We explore the pillars of lasting motivation—autonomy, competence, and community—and how these drive sustainable success. We touch on the importance of taking ownership over your choices, building fitness and nutrition habits that adapt to life’s chaos, and the identity shift that needs to happen when you decide you want to be a "fit person". And so much more.
This conversation is packed with insights that will not only make you a better athlete or healthier person but also help you become a stronger, more resilient version of yourself, both inside and out.
Grab a notebook for this one because you're going to walk away with actionable strategies to help you think bigger and create lasting change that sticks. So, without further ado, here is my conversation with Luka Hocevar.
