Episode 59: Dr Richard Mak {Fix The Leaks In Your Training Pipeline}
Show Notes

This week I have Dr Richard Mak on the show.  Dr. Mak is known as The MMA Doc. His business is helping combat athletes train SMARTER.  The combat sports world is filled with athletes with the mindset of always needing to train harder, always needing to do more than any opponent, etc. etc.
.
The MMA Doc has a goal of shifting this mindset.  Helping athletes understand the benefits of recovery, taking rest days when needed, and fixing the "leaks" in the training pipeline. This involves taking a holistic approach to an athlete's approach to their training and lifestyle.  Taking better care of athletes strength and conditioning, sleep and recovery, skills training, nutrition and overall approach to life. By taking all of these elements into account instead of just focusing on training you will be able to get more out of every training session you do.  If you are recovering well eating well and training hard, you will certainly be setting yourself up for more success in the future.
.
Another important point from this talk was the idea of living the lifestyle. Being ready to train and compete at the top level as an athlete doesn't just happen.  The athletes that are able to truly succeed at the top level are those that make their sport their lifestyle.  This means dialing in the day to day behaviours that allow them to be successful, not just showing up to training and going through the motions.
