I didn’t become an All-American until I gave up trying to win. Sounds crazy, right? But it changed everything.
I used to think success was all about doing “more”— more reps, more work, more grind.
But the truth hit me like a Mack truck… inside a packed arena with 19,000 people watching a nobody beat an Olympic gold medalist.
In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I unpack what I witnessed at the NCAA Wrestling Championships: An underdog mindset masterclass featuring Wyatt Hendrickson and Olympic gold medalist Gable Stevenson.
We dive deep into why seeds don’t matter, why letting go of outcomes can unlock elite performance, and how to build an Environment of Excellence that turns potential into results.
You’ll also learn the 3 essential ingredients every underdog needs to win— on the mat, in business, or in life.
This episode isn’t just for the competitive man who feels like he’s falling short, despite doing everything right.
If you’re chasing big goals and still wondering why you’re not seeing results, this is the perspective shift you’ve been missing.
Let’s go!
