And that would be something that I hope that me being a female wrestler can show young girls is that they're allowed to be strong and powerful and be in control of their own bodies to make decisions about how they want to be in this world. And I think that's the best thing I could do is just kind of have my hard work not just be for me and hopefully it's not just for me, because it's really hard.

What I do is very difficult and I don't know if it would be worth it if it was just for me. So I really hope there's some little girls and some young women out there who realize that it's not too late.

Okay, welcome back. Or if you're new, welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais, and by trade and training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist. And I'm fortunate enough to work with some of the top performers across the planet. And the idea behind these conversations is to learn from people just like them.

Those extraordinary people who have organized their inner life to commit themselves towards mastery. And there's two parts of mastery, mastery of self and mastery of craft. And these conversations are really primarily interested in the intertwining of those two, how it takes place. And so our minds are our greatest asset. And if you want to learn more about how you can train your mind, this is just a quick little reminder here to check out the online psychological training course that I created with the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carroll. And you can find all of that at findingmastery.net forward slash course. Finding Mastery is brought to you by Bubbs Naturals. Like many of you, I'm mindful about what I put in my body. For me, it usually comes down to ingredients and simplicity. The shorter the list, the better. And if I have to look it up, I'm usually out. That's why I've been loving Bubbs Naturals. Bubbs creates products with high quality, all natural ingredients designed to help people get after their adventures in life. I've been a huge fan of their hydrate or dye electrolyte mix for years now. It only has six total ingredients, but it's packed with five times the electrolytes as conventional sports drinks, with none of the added sugars, artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. It's great for post-workout recovery, outdoor adventures, and staying hydrated during long periods of travel, which I've done a lot of lately, and Bubbs is a go-to for me. Plus, all Bubbs products are 100% NSF4 Sport certified, which means they pass the most rigorous quality standards. They're currently in just about every MLB locker room, working closely with the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and more, of course.
