010: Chris Hinshaw on the Sticking Point, Boredom in Endruance, & Overcoming Panic Attacks

This episode is simply dripping with stories about how Chris has helped train the minds of some of CrossFit's greatest athletes. Mat Fraser, Rich Froning, Julie Foucher, Sara Sigmundsdottir, Kara Webb, Jason Hopper and many more feature in today's show.

Today on the Limitless Athlete Podcast, you’ll be listening to a conversation between aerobic coach to the biggest names in CrossFit, Chris Hinshaw, and myself.

Amongst many other pearls of wisdom, Chris discusses the Sticking Point - that moment in every workout when you are in the most discomfort and are most likely to quit.

It’s these moments, both in workouts and in wider life, where you have the greatest opportunity.

If you listen to one part of you, you panic, or you slow down, or you quit.

If you listen to the other, probably quieter voice, you’ll confront an inner demon and add proof to the story you need to hear to fulfill your potential.

Because of this, we have to predict when we’ll feel at our most uncomfortable, and prepare our minds for that moment.

The better prepared you are, the more likely you are to come out on top.

Alongside this, we also discuss...

How Sara Sigmundsdottirs socks tell a story about mindset and learning
The pros and cons of fear for competitors
Why Chris made Mat Fraser write down every single workout
How anxiety ruins endurance
And far, far more.
