Listen "186: MINDSET STRATEGIES THAT SEPARATE AMATEUR VS. PRO ATHLETES"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to episode 186 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast!
The boys are (almost) all back this week, diving into a full discussion on mental fortitude, the athlete mindset, and navigating wins and losses in bodybuilding.
We start with DY’s return from overseas, training across time zones and managing routine while traveling. We also chat about new gym environments, atmosphere, and how the right space can genuinely elevate your progress.
Then we move into the heart of the episode: what actually makes a successful athlete. We break down delayed gratification, love for the process, composure, and the difference between wanting to win vs fearing losing. There’s plenty on staying grounded when things go well, and reflecting productively when they don’t.
We also talk confidence vs arrogance, why humility matters, and how tying your identity to an outcome can hold you back. We touch on taking judge’s feedback, separating emotion from strategy, and how coaches can help athletes stay level-headed heading into future seasons.
A mindset-heavy episode, honest, practical, and packed with the nuance athletes need. Enjoy!
