Summary
Gene Zannetti talks with Final X champion and World Team member Wyatt Hendrickson about why he said mindset was the key difference between making the world team and becoming a world champion, how deciding to be a national champion nine months before NCA's shaped every training decision that followed, the difference between confidence and cockiness and how his opponents can feel which one you are before the match even starts, and why discipline trumps motivation every time and he trains for his future self not his present comfort.
