Listen "Game Day Before Game Day"
Episode Synopsis
Success isn't built on race day—it's built in the rehearsals. Are you simulating your big moments before they arrive? Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares lessons from a half-simulation training for his upcoming Hyrox competition. Just like athletes run practice races, we need to create "game days before game day" in our lives and careers. These rehearsals reveal weaknesses, allow adjustments, and build the confidence to perform when it counts. Baylor emphasizes the power of focusing only on the present moment instead of dwelling on past fatigue or worrying about future obstacles. He also highlights a powerful reminder from a fellow competitor: even in the struggle, we are lucky to have the chance to push our limits. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why simulating your big day helps you discover strengths and weaknesses early How to stop robbing yourself of focus by living in yesterday or tomorrow Why 100% presence in the moment outperforms scattered effort The importance of gratitude—even in the hardest struggles How to reframe adversity as a privilege to grow stronger Featured Quote: "How lucky are we to be able to move our bodies like this?"
