Erik Turner @erikturner41 and I have been hyping eachother up on Instagram via DMs and posts over the last year or two and it's been a very welcome addition to all of the unpredictableness that comes with life. When you find like minded people there is a good feeling that comes from cheering one another on as you each pursue big hairy audacious goals. 

Erik is a Professional Lacrosse Player in the NLL with the Colorado Mammoth which is currently on pause. He also works with a lot of young lacrosse players through his work directly with schools and various other offerings throughout the year. While he waits to get back to the NLL he is dialing into his own fitness and nutrition in big ways. His story will make you second guess if you are going after your goals or just saying that you're going after your goals. We talk about his time at Cornell, recovering from an injury, seeing the positives in having all your stuff burn, his experiences pursuing lacrosse and showing what he's capable of, and reflecting on how far he's come since his appearance on the 2nd Floor Podcast. 

It's important to realize there are going to be opportunities to grow and excel and they are going to come at you at first as obstacles. It's not that we need to be toxicly positive about everything that goes wrong in our life, but if we can find learning experiences in our setbacks, and be coachable in our shortcomings, we can excel and do what we came to do.
