Traveling throws your body totally out of sync. It limits your access to healthy foods, sends you into different time zones that alter your hormonal balance, disrupts your sleep, and stiffens your muscles and joints.

What separates great athletes from mediocre ones isn't only talent and training - it's also how well they can handle discomfort.

I love swimming in rough water, usually along cliff lines and places where the waves are really banging on you.

Sharing is how I learn.

When we work out, we think about pushing ourselves muscularly or cardiovascularly, but why not also challenge yourself neurologically?

Nobody should try to be the best at every discipline, especially not you. If you are, you're bound to plateau.
