#92 - Bouncing back from Injury, Handling Adversity and Building Mental Toughness
Injury stops your body, but it does not have to stop you. Durham and Jacob get into how athletes can use setbacks as raw material for genuine mental toughness, drawing on Victor Frankl, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Covey to ground the conversation in something more than just positive thinking. Hard times come. What you do with them is the part you control.
