Does Your Training REALLY Need to be Individualised?
Winner's Mindset: Commitment
Watching the recent UFC fight between Conor and Cowboy it was clear that Conor is back. Not just the fighting skills but the focus and the drive. I followed all major interviews in the lead up to the fight and the post fight press conference after the fight and there was something Conor himself talked about that put it all together very neatly and that was his perception of the role of commitment. In this episode I talk about my take on what I saw and heard, what I think commitment REALLY means and how you can apply it right now to CRUSH your goals this year.
