038: Abandoning Balance For Athletic Greatness w/ pat Sherwood

“Moderation is for cowards”

 

What holds too many athletes back is the fear of committing to their next level.

 

What will I lose if I go all in?

 

What will that do to my relationships, my career, my time to serve others?

If you really want to be great, those are the wrong questions to ask.

What will I lose if I don’t take action on my dreams?

That’s the real question to ask.

You’ll lose the chance of being a true success, yes. But you’ll also lose the one chance you had to be the person you wish to be.

You’ll miss out on satisfaction, on an adventure, on immeasurable growth.

When you ask the dying about their biggest regrets in life, it’s not the things they did that they wish never happened. It’s what they didn’t do.

The opportunities they shunned, the hot date they never built up the courage to ask out, the decision to hide away from their truest expression of themselves.

You only get one go at this life, you don’t know how long it’s going to last.

Today I speak to Pat Sherwood of CrossFit Linchpin. Pat is a longstanding member of the community who has walked the balance of going all in and of seeking balance.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and it’s my pleasure to bring this to you in the hope it helps you decide if you want to go all in.
