An elite mindset isn't just for elite athletes. Bernie's Client Success Story
Today's episode is likely to resonate with those of you who aren't necessarily looking for a podium finish or a qualifying time yet you want to be the strongest, healthiest version of yourself so that you can keep doing things you love. In a world of comparison and endless competition sometimes it's important to remind ourselves why we set these physical challenges for ourselves, what benefit will it bring us and what can we learn about ourselves along the way. I personally am super proud of our guest today who to me has transformed not only physically but also in her mental strength and I think we can all take some inspiration from Berni's determination and mindset to achieve what she set out to do. With an elite mindset you can achieve anything, regardless of whether it's walking 10km or racing 100.
