I guess when I'm afraid, that's when the rush sets in. I don't want to say fear is good, but it depends on how you utilize it.
Imagine riding a 100-foot wave. For Garrett 'GMAC' McNamara, this is just another day at the office. In this episode of The FitMind Podcast, GMAC, the world record holder for surfing the largest wave, dives into the exhilarating world of big wave surfing and the mental states that come with it. He opens up about his journey, sharing how he harnesses fear to fuel his passion and achieve his dreams.
McNamara's story is a masterclass in confronting fear head-on and using it as a tool for success. He discusses the concept of flow states—those magical moments when everything clicks and you're performing at your best. But it's not just about the adrenaline; GMAC emphasizes the importance of setting clear goals, practicing gratitude, and maintaining mindfulness. These principles, he believes, are key to not only surviving but thriving in both sport and life.
Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or someone looking to conquer personal fears, GMAC's insights offer valuable lessons on mental fitness and achieving one's vision. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that might just change how you face your own challenges.
