Mat Fraser is a retired CrossFit athlete and legend of the sport. He is the first athlete to have won five CrossFit Games titles consecutively from 2016 - 2020. After breaking his back in two places as an Olympic hopeful weightlifter, Mat was told he'd never be able to lift again. In this episode he shares how he has overcome his setbacks through hard work and discipline. Discipline is a crucial aspect of Mat’s work, most importantly, being disciplined when no one is watching.

In this episode they discuss, why we should all do things we are bad at, training for the right reasons and finding the right people for you.
