209 - Fighting Through Injury to Win Pan Am Gold with Vanessa Wexler

Vanessa Wexler is a BJJ black belt and a multiple no-gi world champion, PanAm champion, and Masters champion.  I caught up with her shortly after she won Gold in the Pan Ams competing with a completely destroyed ankle.  We talked dealing with injuries, pre-competition visualisation, how running a school does NOT give you unlimited training time, and her modelling career(!).
