Listen "Jackson Walker from Walk-On to All-American, Bet On Yourself"
Episode Synopsis
From unrecruited walk-on to 2x All-American in one of the most brutal events in sport, Jackson Walker breaks down the mindset behind real, lasting performance: why grit beats gift, how to fall in love with the process, and the self-talk that keeps you present when stakes are highest. We dig into reframing failure (the 3-to-1 rule), compartmentalizing across ten events, energy management, and how “Day 2 is my day” became a weapon. We also cover recovery that actually builds you (sleep, timing, and why immediate post-lift ice is a mistake), balancing law school with elite training, and launching Loyly Nordic Spa to make heat/cold therapy accessible.You’ll learn: • Grit > Gift — why consistency wins over time • Process > Outcomes — the only path that scales • Self-talk scripts that bend reality to your will • How to reframe setbacks and protect momentumListen, save, share with a teammate who needs the reminder to keep grinding.Instagram x TikTok Youtube
