E169 - Mat Fraser, CrossFit legend: Being disciplined when no one is watching

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.


He shares how his parents' parenting style encouraged him to try everything from figure skating to t-ball, he tells Jake and Damian the lessons from his parents he carries into his work today. 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.


Mat’s book Hard Work Pays Off is out on the 29th of December 2022. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hwpo-Transform-Crossfits-Five-Time-Fittest/dp/0593233751
