Episode 31: Brandon Harris {It All Starts With Awareness}

In this episode I have the pleasure of bringing on Brandon Harris. Brandon is the owner of Premier Fitness Systems in Scottsdale Arizona.  He is also the strength & conditioning coach for rising UFC Superstar 'Suga' Sean O'Malley.
We really hit on some new and interesting points in this interview.  Brandon breaks down fundamental awareness & how it affects us in life as a whole and specifically in athletics.  It is very easy to get focused on everything external in life.  Brandon does a great job in this interview of giving ways to become more self aware & inward through basic mindfulness practice that can have a drastic effect on your performance as an athlete, developing flow, and your life as a whole.
We also dig into Brandon's work with Sean O'Malley. My biggest personal takeaway from Brandon talking about working with Sean is the ability to embrace growth. He is a 25 year old kid with over 1 million instagram followers competing at the top level in the world in sport and his ability to keep his ego in check and continue to grow as an athlete is incredible. Even when facing a two year suspension Sean actively chose to take advantage of that time & grow even further as an athlete. Using adversity as an opportunity instead of allowing it to break you.
For any young athletes out there this is an incredible learning opportunity.  Adversity is something you will face WITHOUT a doubt. Now you need to figure out how to deal with it.  Instead of sitting and feeling sorry for yourself about whatever you're dealing with figure out how you can grow from it. Figure out what you can do to improve.  If you don't know what the next step is, find someone who can help you!
