The Role Sports Play in Character Development - Chase Sexton Misses Round 2 of Pro Motocross

Welcome to MX Mastery!

Mastery is defined as the highest level of skill and knowledge in a particular field or activity. That’s exactly what we’re trying to help you achieve in this podcast. Mastery of anything is more of a journey than a destination, and we’d love to have you come along for the ride!

In this podcast, we talk about what we know best; motocross training, and what it takes to get to the top level in this sport. On MX Mastery, you can look forward to everything from conversations with top athletes to topics like fitness, supercross, racing, amateur, professional, etc. If it’s moto, we’re going to talk about it!

In today’s episode, we briefly talk about Chase Sexton missing round 2 of the Pro Motocross Championship, as well as our thoughts on Jett so far this season. Then we move on to our main topic of "the role sports play in character development". Sports teach you so many important skills that help you become a successful individual in all aspects of your life, not just the sport you play. We talk about the carryover from racing to life off the bike, and what it takes to become professional at anything.
