Extreme Balance with Spartan CEO Joe DeSena

Joe DeSena, CEO of Spartan Races, talks with Gene Zannetti about the new book he collaborated on with Ben Askren, Extreme Balance: Paradoxical Principles That Make You a Champion   Together, they dive into some core teachings of the book: the mistake most people make is to sacrifice health and wellness first, how we need to shift from focusing on work-life balance to work-life integration, and that kids can learn a lot through rejection that will help build their character.

Wrestling Mindset is the Official Mental Training Partner of USA Wrestling. 

We highly recommend this book for all wrestling families.
