Description

We had a very special guest in the studio for this week's podcast - Athlete, Doctor of Philosophy and Religion and Author Francis Sanzaro! Francis is a multi-time author and accomplished climber and alpinist and our discuss today centered around Francis' new book "The Zen of Climbing." I recently read this book and it was a total page turner. It combined spirituality, sports psychology and performance together in a neatly packaged and practical way I hadn’t heard articulated before. I just couldn’t put it down. Although the book looks at performance through the lens of climbing, the lessons and insights in this book can easily be applied to a multitude of disciplines within endurance sports and even to life. Together, Francis and I explored a central theme and Zen Principle, Big and Small mind and used that framework to look at topics like Failure, Self-Talk, Why Confidence is Overrated and our Attachment to Outcomes. I’m so excited to share this talk!
