Hey Chris, this was very Inspirational to listen to, and I took away a lot of golden nuggets from what you said. Here are some of my thoughts! I thought it was so relatable how you felt you would be bad at wrestling when you first joined the sport, but coaches pulled you up to JV and it surprised you! You also later said that if you don’t think you’re good enough, do it anyways which I’ve always felt similar when I first start things but we always seem to surprise ourselves which is something to learn from and gain confidence from. It’s funny how you took the advice of the guy who beat you nine to one to later used it against him and win state finals junior year haha and also crazy how you pushed through with broken finger, what the heck. I also like how you said to be patient and have a control of your mental mental state which keeps you out of trouble and is overall good for you. And you also said that when you do this, your body will follow suit. It’s also cool how you said you are your own best friend, not “you vs you”. I agree, too many people are hot headed or can’t control their ego which always backfires on them or prevents their growth. They do that to themselves too and need to learn your perspective of treating themselves as their own best friend. It’s also inspirational how you beat the dude 50 pounds more than you your first year college, literally a scene from a movie! When you said you went back and cheered on teammates, that is the exact type of teammate we all need. It was so cool to hear because that really reveals your character and your selflessness commitment to helping, protecting, and serving others! Lastly, I do a little BJJ and military combatives, and I’m specifically going to take away and implement the strategy you said about giving your opponent a bunch of problems to solve so they mess up haha genius! Great episode and looking forward to part 2 when Collan gets a better mic!
