About this episode

Brad Stulberg discusses the pursuit of excellence in sport and life, focusing on goal setting and motivation.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m joined by Brad Stulberg. Brad is a bestselling author whose books include Peak Performance, The Practice of Groundedness, and Master of Change. His latest book, The Way of Excellence, explores what it really means to pursue excellence in sport, work, and life. In this conversation, we dive into what excellence actually is - and some of the biggest misconceptions around it. We talk about goal setting for athletes, how to stay motivated when progress inevitably slows down, and why curiosity might be one of the most powerful mindsets you can bring into training and racing. We also get into patience, failure, consistency, and the traps that stop athletes from reaching their potential. If you’re chasing progress in HYROX or any performance-based sport, there’s a lot in here that will change how you think about training and improvement. 🔗 Subscribe for more episodes 💥 Supporters of this Episode 🏅 MyProtein – Affordable, high-quality supplements to support your HYROX training.
