While I've been sauna'ing for years consistently, the cold plunge is a newer habit I've picked up. First learning about Wim Hoff (the OG of cold plunging) years ago on Rogan, I've been slowly dipping my toes (and body) into various cold tubs. My take is that cold benefits are a bit less agreed upon than sauana benefits, but it's something I'm currently committed to nonetheless. Tune in to hear the science behind it and how you can create your own cold habit for less than $100.  … Subscribe to our other podcasts (for students): Read with a Fighter, Spaniard School Watch on YouTube: Spaniard School, Read with a Fighter Get our newest #1 Best Seller book: DRIVEN Young Reader Edition Get all the DAYS OF SPANIARD books here!

I created this episode because youth sports needs a reboot, or at least some course correction. While there are some major advancements and new opportunities for young athletes, there are some glaring holes in the system. I was fortunate to have great parents and many good coaches throughout my athletic career, and I'm in a phase of life where youth sports is prominent. I'm seeing it all, and I have a few things to say about it. We'll start with some awareness, and we'll finish with some actionable steps.  … Subscribe to our other podcasts (for students): Read with a Fighter, Spaniard School Watch on YouTube: Spaniard School, Read with a Fighter Get our newest #1 Best Seller book: DRIVEN Young Reader Edition Get all the DAYS OF SPANIARD books here!

"The power of self-control" says the subtitle. Second in the series of Ryan Holiday's four books on the Stoic virtues, Discipline is Destiny teaches about temperance (discipline/self-control). Discipline is one of the few habits that will open up the world of possibilities to you. The ability to say yes to the things you know you should say yes to. Not doing the things you know you shouldn't do. All part of your plan to create the person you hope to be.  … Get this book here: Discipline is Destiny Subscribe to our other podcasts (for students): Read with a Fighter, Spaniard School Watch on YouTube: Read with a Fighter Get our newest #1 Best Seller book: DRIVEN Young Reader Edition Get all the DAYS OF SPANIARD books here!
