Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Getting After It, I sit down with Dallin Shurts—BYU record holder, Team USA discus thrower, and a man who has learned as much from failure as he has from victory. His story isn’t just about breaking records; it’s about breaking limits. From awkward beginnings on the basketball court to standing on international stages in the discus ring, Dallin has forged his path through discipline, simplicity, and the relentless pursuit of small daily wins.We explore the unseen work behind greatness, the mindset shifts that separate those who cave under pressure from those who thrive in it, and the timeless truth that success comes from focusing only on what you can control. Along the way, we touch on Stoicism, Stephen Covey, and the paradox of learning to enjoy life’s resistance rather than wishing it away.Three Key TakeawaysChase the feeling, not the distance — True progress comes from focusing on the quality of your effort, not the outcomes you can’t control.Resistance reveals strength — Getting after it means doing the work when it’s hardest, not when it’s convenient.Keep life simple — Mastering the basics, in sport and in life, creates the space to thrive and enjoy the process.–––––––––––––––––-Website: Keepgettingafterit.comFollow on X: @bcrossellSubscribe on YouTube: @gettingafteritpodcastFollow on Instagram: @bcrossellFollow on TikTok: gettingafterit_podcastI hope today’s episode sparked something within you to pursue your dreams and unlock your true potential.
