Strive for Greatness: From Sports to the Marine Corps, Battling Mental Health, and Pushing Limits in OCR Racing
In this episode of Behind the Underdogs, we sit down with Jayson, a former football player who felt a higher calling and joined the Marine Corps back in 2005. His path as an entrepreneur saw him start an agricultural business and open his own gym before finding his passion in OCR (Obstacle Course Racing).
Jayson reflects on the invaluable life lessons sports instilled in him, lessons he now passes on to his son: each game is a battle, and the bonds, teamwork, and work ethic are the keys to success in life. After leaving the military, Jayson faced a mental struggle but found new motivation through his son and running. He shares his journey from struggling to run half a mile to conquering marathons, embodying his motto of "strive for greatness."
We explore Jayson's mindset on setting big goals, appreciating the journey, and battling mental health through physical exertion. Tune in to hear Jayson's inspiring story of overcoming adversity, competing in the Spartan trifecta, and his advice on living fearlessly and unlocking your potential.
