Today, I am going to give you the tools you need to (a) not allow injury to destroy your mental health, and (b) use the setback of injury to move toward mindset mastery. If you’re teetering on the edge of (a), with negativity and despair setting in, (b) will seem impossible. I hear you, and I get the magnitude of the task ahead of you. Without a strong mental foundation, your rehab will be slower, be more emotionally and physically painful, and have a higher likelihood of setbacks. Mindset is as important as physio, rest, or sleep in overcoming injuries. I would go so far as to say, the biggest reason athletes fall off their rehab plans, or rush the recovery and therefore reinjure themselves is the mindset they hold. Fear or frustration get the better of them and they never regain the same level of performance they once had. Don’t be that person. Conquer the fear injury can create, and use it to become a better version of yourself. The alternative isn’t worth thinking about. Today you’ll learn: How to maintain positivity in the face of a long and boring rehab process What to do when you are confused about what to do next How to come out of injury better than you went in How to prepare yourself for getting back into training

Today, I’m going to teach you how to leave your training sessions with no regrets. You’ll learn how to go all in on workouts when it really counts and lose that disappointed feeling you get when you hold back. If you’re like a lot of the athletes I speak to who haven’t started mindset training yet, you aren’t leaving the gym knowing you’ve crushed workouts. You probably feel disappointed and frustrated. Maybe you have plateaued. Your sessions are probably filled with negative self-talk. So the fun has disappeared and the growth has stopped. It’s time to go all in on your training sessions. Training - and let’s face it life - has never been about half-assing it has it? You only get one shot at this, and to become the athlete and person you have the potential to be, you have to go all in. If you want to make your life count, you’ve got to go all in. Here’s what we’re going to cover: Why you need to seek out hardship A 2 minute positivity tool that transforms training sessions Flipping the script when shit gets tough Becoming the type of person who thrives under hardship

Are the next 12 months going to be more of the same? Another year with great intentions but mediocre results? Or, is this going to be your year? One which counts?   If you’re ready to commit to a new level of athleticism, master your mindset, and build habits which serve you in 2023, this blog is for you.   Yes, you need more balance in 2023 than you had over the past 12 months. But more than that, you need to learn to flex your mindset skills and find adaptability amongst the chaos.   There are four mistakes athletes make when training their mindset. Mistakes that will create performance-crushing levels of self-doubt, fear, and frustration. Especially when you combine that with a demanding career, family life, and a backstory which may be holding you back.   Many athletes end up looking back at their time with disappointment that they didn’t fully commit to their potential. The opportunity to become the person they longed to be…to earn the respect of others… to have made these years valuable…has passed them by.   If you do not change these four things about your mindset, 2023 will be yet another wasted opportunity:

Today, I'm bringing you an extract of a webinar with Khan Porter, CrossFit Games athlete, and Rachel Binette, our Head Coach. It focuses on the role identity plays in your mindset, and features Khan's experience and perspective heavily. Enjoy!

Today, I’m going to teach you the right way to view your mindset. And help you stay away from the biggest mistake you could make. Having the wrong view of your mindset means; frustratingly slow progress; a lack of control over your thoughts and emotions; and your mindset always limiting your potential. The biggest reason you struggle to transform your mindset is thinking of it as something that goes through huge “shifts”, and not something that you incrementally train. You will fail to change your mindset if you don’t train it intentionally and daily. Mindset is a skill. Train it accordingly. A skill is defined as “a learned power of doing something competently; a developed aptitude or ability”. Mindset is learned and developed, not inherited or instantly flipped.  Here’s what you’ll learn today: Why you need to train your mind like you train your body How the Royal Marines made training my mind simple & how you can use that to your advantage What to do when you have a bad mindset day How a terminal cancer patient will help you train your mindset

On today's episode of The Limitless Athlete Podcast, I interview Andrew Tracey, Fitness Editor of Men's Health and isolator of what's truly effective in fitness. We dive deep into the breath and how it links to our mental state. For what it's worth, I believe the breath is one of the greatest tools we have in our mindset arsenal, and mastery of it is a weapon in your fight for mental fitness and health. It's both a canary, and a pickaxe - an indicator, and a modulator.

Today, I interview Björn, an athlete who has completely flipped his mindset in just a few months. In this episode, I break down exactly how he has done that, and how you can get the same results.
