Fabulous interview. The gal seemed to have her own agenda here. Not too sure why she fell so off track. The gentlemen handled it well. Back to Dean, what an inspiration!

+Spartan Up! Podcast, well to me one of the best quotes I've ever heard is "listen to everyone, follow no one", that's some smoking wisdom there! I'm an elite athlete involved with a different extreme sport of Towerrunning (time trial, timed races up the stairwells of the tallest skyscrapers in the world). I finished the 2015 year ranked 12th in the USA men's overall at the national ranking site of Stairsport.com, (that web site will change in 2016). There were so many things that he said that for an athlete, or anyone who wants to achieve success have to follow. "Setting goals", "making a commitment", "finding your passion", "discipline is learned through baby steps", "comfort does not equal happiness". There were other quotes and things you folks talked about too, but I'm getting kind of long here. For me, I'm always trying to learn, and learn from others who have succeeded. As an amateur athlete, one has to really be mentally focused on the final outcome, which in my case is the Towerruning race. That involves hours and hours of training, proper nutrition, proper sleep, and doing this around the rest of the day to day things involved in ones life. Then just has important has the physical things involved, the mental training is just has important. That is what Dean really alluded to in the interview! For an athlete, if you don't have the mental focus, whatever that is for each individual, what it takes to achieve the physical level to reach that goal, will never be there. Thanks guys!
