About this episode
Many athletes fail to make progress or they see their fitness regress due to three main factors:
- You become injured
- You are training improperly
- You’ve simply lost the desire to train, or train like you used to
Dr. Stephen Gangemi, the Sock Doc, joins The Nation to discuss the science behind motivation. From your brain to your gut, we will discuss the physiological and mental aspects of motivation and how you can regain the Eye of the Tiger!
