Episode Summary
I googled "plant based athlete roaring fork valley" and found TJ... and I sure am glad that I did!
TJ is not your typical extreme outdoorsman. He is mindful, grounded, soulful, creative, restorative... and plant powered!
OK - so, I might be making some generalizations about mountain athletes, but he's a super cool guy and we had a great conversation.
Some highlights include...
- How and when TJ decided to make his hobby a career
- Key points and practices for staying mindful in the mountains
- The equation for balance and the necessity for restorative practices
- What a plant based diet did for TJ's performance
- The holistic approach to coaching athletes in achieving their goals
