#2: So much of my life has revolved around the kettlebell sport and the archetype of being an athlete. I’ve dedicated an incredible amount of time, energy, and discipline towards my goal of being the best kettlebell sport lifter. Although my training and vision have changed over time, that goal has attracted me to amazing experiences and lessons. One of the most memorable experiences is attending a week-long training camp with members of the Russian National Kettlebell Sport Team. During that time, I learned invaluable lessons, not only in my training but also in life. Today I want to share them with you.Topics discussedMy trip to visit the Russian National Kettlebell Sport TeamTakeaways from training with the most elite athletes on the planetHow to become a kettlebell Master of SportThe most essential component of physical trainingMy biggest lesson in becoming a better manMentioned in the episode:Oksana NikiforSergey Rachinskiy - The Ultimate GirevikChek InstituteConnect with MikeInstagram: @mike.salemiWebsiteYouTube: Mike SalemiThe Kettlebell LifestyleThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
