  • We are teaching mental toughness all wrong. Learn the two key principles that will change your mindset and your life. Ben trains some of the world's fittest and toughest athletes. He has coached seven world championships and is considered one of the top coaches in the sport of CrossFit. Ben is not like other coaches. He believes that greatness is not for the elite few; that winning is a result, not a goal; and that character, not talent is what makes champions. Ben has shared his approach to coaching, training, nutrition, personal excellence, business development and mental toughness with millions through his podcast and best-selling book. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    1) "Set your sights: training, recovery, nutrition, sleep, mindset.
    Recognize what it is you can control and what you can't."
    2) "Kill the critic in your head."

    This is great. I would encourage everyone to read Ben's book Chasing Excellence. It is awesome and can be applied to everything in life. Also, he does a podcast about once a week called Chasing Excellence which is great too. These have all been game changers for me and my wife.

    Really well spoken, I've been doing this thing called "75 days strong". What it is you choose 2 or 3 things to improve yourself or select something specific, something you aren't to good at, like reading for example and do those 2 or 3 things 75 days straight every day. I chose to watch a motivational or self improvement video each day as one of them. I have to tell you 18 days in so far and my mind is working in my favor but it also comes with the mindset to try and train yourself to be that way and it's kind of becoming a habit that I think this way now. Also my mind is my biggest down fall now that I see it.

    All of your videos have helped me in so many different aspects. I'm only in high school but I've had mental doubts before. I owe a lot to the lessons that these videos have taught me. Thank you so much for sharing with the world these wonderful tactics to train the mind.

    Thanks Ben, I was waiting for this to come out since the IG post. Thanks for sharing more about you and your family. The inner critic is by far the hardest to shut up on my experience. What would be your most practical advise on this case?
    What end up happening with the tackle with Joe Perdoni ?

    I'm 6'2 and 190 but was the biggest guy on my football team for P.E. class in my seinor year. The class was split into two teams for the quarter. Unfortunately, The biggest dude on the other team was the star defensive block from our schools 3A team that had just finished first (again) in our schools fourth season of consecutive state championships largely thanks to a great defense. Next year after our graduation the school team had earned a place into 4A. The other team's big guy was T.c. He is a goddamn tank. 6'0 but 450 lbs before lunch and benches 400 in 3 sets of 5 reps. I was maybe at 230 for the same. With squats (luckily I rode a bike everywhere around the county my entire life up to that point while growing up in the boonies) we were close to even at 2 rep max of 700 lbs. I had to either block or defend him every day, every play. he destroyed me. It was awesome though.

    The bible teaches this and you don't need another book to back it up. I do buy books but I'm amazed how many get rich using biblical principles without giving the credit. Proverbs 23: 7 For as a man thinketh so is he. 2 Cor 10:5 Cast down every imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Eph 6: 10-18 Put on the whole armour of God etc.... Finally, 1 Peter 2:9, you are royal priesthood etc. The bible covers everything we need in life so when you buy these books, search the bible for the scripture that says the same thing. Guarantee you find it.
