083: There’s More to Life than Winning with the “World’s Greatest Athlete,” Trey Hardee
05/26/22 • 54 min
Sometimes, the one thing you want to happen the most is often the best thing that never happened. And while it can be difficult to see in the moment, hang in there and have faith because life will surprise you in ways you can't yet see.
My guest, Trey Hardee, knows this all too well. He's experienced countless setbacks and moments in life that didn't seem to be going his way. But without them, he never would have become "the world's greatest athlete."
His accomplishments as a track & field athlete are quite remarkable...
Trey is a two-time Olympian, two-time World Champion, two-time U.S. Champion, three-time Texas Relays winner, an NCAA Champion, a four-time All-American, former NCAA Record holder, and 2012 Olympic silver medalist in the decathlon.
Pretty good for a guy who didn't even take up track and field until his junior year of high school... which, by the way, wouldn't even have happened if he hadn't been cut from his basketball team.
In this episode, Trey offers up priceless advice for anyone who has big dreams to succeed in life. We talk about his journey to becoming an Olympic athlete, his comeback after a severe elbow injury, and the smart steps he took to turn his earned income as an athlete into cash-flowing assets. That and a whole lot more!
Free Gift: Get Free Workout Video from Trey!
This gift is perfect for those of you who do a lot of traveling. Trey is sharing a video outlining his “Hotel Shakeout” workout routine. This is a quick set of exercises you can perform to get the travel out of your system and reinvigorate your mind and body. You don’t need any equipment, and it’s perfect for small spaces, like a hotel room.
