When Brad, the mastermind behind the School of Grit, agreed to join us, I knew it was an opportunity to share a profound narrative of human resilience. His journey through the unforgiving Kokoro Camp, where he faced a 50-hour crucible that tested every fiber of his being, isn't just a story of endurance; it's a testament to the transformative power of extreme challenges. Together, we reflect on how these trials reveal character, forge mental toughness, and impart invaluable lessons for tackling life's battles. I also peel back the curtain on my own experiences, revealing how simulated crucible events have reshaped high school football training, turning teenage athletes into embodiments of courage and cooperation.It's not just about being tough; it's about the relentless pursuit of long-term goals, fueled by a powerful "why." Brad and I lay out tangible strategies to cultivate this trait, from breath control to maintaining a positive mindset and embracing visualization. These are tools not confined to the elite athlete or warrior; they are accessible to anyone. Listeners will gain actionable insights on how to infuse their lives with these principles, enhancing their personal and professional journeys with the fortitude that defines success.Learn more or contact Brad by visiting his website: https://schoolofgrit.org/Are you an ATHLETE looking to take your training to the next level?

Please leave a review at http://www.openskyfitness.com/review   We had two special guests on this week's episode of the Open Sky Fitness Podcast. One of our previous guests, Evan Dollard, teamed up with Rob to talk to fellow extreme obstacle athlete, Hunter McIntyre. Evan was the 2008 male winner of American Gladiators and also competed on American Ninja Warrior 2. Hunter is Spartan Race Athlete and has been featured on the TV show, Boundless. Next up in both of their careers, they are participating in NBC's Summer Spartan Ultimate Challenge which begins airing on Monday, June 13th. Evan is the Field Reporter of the show while Hunter leads on one of the teams through the race as a Spartan Elite. We had an amazing time on the show while learning more about Hunter and his story about how he came to be a Spartan Athlete. It's a wild journey of how he evolved from being a mischievous high school kid to a logger and how that path eventually led him to become one of the world's best short course and long course extreme obstacle athletes. Hunter's story is truly inspiring and one of a kind. He also shared with us how participating in specific training events such as the SEALFIT Kokoro Camp really helped him mature and become the leader that he is today. About Hunter McIntyre Hunter possesses a unique and potent combination of strength and endurance. As an avid student of the Crossfit Endurance training method he’s successfully welded the physique and strength of a Crossfit competitor with the endurance of a marathon runner. Hunter AKA ‘The Sheriff” loves to perform with the showmanship of a WWF wrestler. He is, however, an inveterate lover of all things- particularly life. At the age of just 27 he’s already been a lumberjack in Montana, a party “enthusiast”, and a male model. His wild and crazy charisma shines, Hunter, was born to entertain! His passion for life is built around creating each day to be better than the day before. Hunter’s fanatical love for Obstacle Course Racing pushes him every day to the limits, while cultivating his goals of continuing to be the very best athlete the sport has to offer. Hunter inspires others to athleticism by demonstrating the sheer fun of life. Have a Question for Rob or Devon? We love answering questions and getting feedback from you, our listener!

More About This Show: Mark wasn't just an Navy SEAL, he served for 9 years in active duty and 11 years as a reservist. He retired as a Commanderin in 2011 and was named honor-man among his Navy SEAL training class. An honor-man is someone who has shown the highest levels of integrity, leadership and teamwork during their training to become a SEAL. He also holds black belts in several forms of martial arts, is teacher-trained in Ashtanga yoga, and later developed his own yoga style called Warrior Yoga. While all of that may be impressive, it also explains the foundation and where his Sealfit programs stem from. He blends mind and body and teaches people who are interested in this type of training to reach their full warrior potential. Sealfit uses mental, physical, emotional, intuitive and kokoro trainings to achieve this potential. Mark says this training is meant to help the people who participate become honorable people who serve their family, their community and humanity at large. There are a variety of programs available from a 12-month long digital offering called The Unbeatable Mind to a 50-hour non-stop program called Kokoro Camp, it's modeled after Hell Week and is for the elite athletes and pre-special operation forces trainees of the world. There are many different tools used in all of his courses. One of the techniques we talk about in this episode is a breathing technique to control your stress levels. Mark explains it like this: to calm down or stay calm breath in through your nose and exhale through your nose you. What happens when you do that is your breath is stimulating your diaphragm. There is a bundle of nerves there that triggers your parasympathetic nervous system, the counterpart to your sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for your fight, flight or freeze response. Doing something as simple as taking deep breaths in and out of your nose repeatedly will calm your body, thus calming your mind. When your mind and body are calm you can focus more intently and stay alert. You can use this trick anytime you're stressed, it doesn't have to be a life or death situation! Use it before a big interview or before you ask a girl out on a date. Mark gives us another breathing tool to use and also shares his thoughts on intuition and trusting your gut. He tells us about a few examples from his life when he did or didn't trust his instinct, and the consequences. He also explains why the most successful people in the world are the most emotionally developed, and what his programs offer in that vein. It was fascinating to have Mark here and to listen to his stories, his personal experiences and knowledge on how to get the most out of our bodies and minds.
