Episode 41 - Travis Owles: Battling Anxiety, Endurance, and the World of Hyrox

In this episode, we dive deep into the inspiring journey of Travis Owles, a former British trampolining champion turned Hyrox athlete with world-record ambitions. Travis opens up about his early years in gymnastics, where despite being told at age 10 that he’d never make it to the Olympics, he went on to become a national champion in trampolining. His journey took a detour at university, where the pressures of drinking culture and managing sports led to struggles with anxiety, eventually resulting in him dropping out. However, boxing reignited his motivation and became his saving grace during the COVID lockdowns.After a humbling loss in a national boxing final, Travis vowed to never settle for defeat again. He went on to complete an ultra marathon on Mount Snowdon, pushing himself to new physical limits. This perseverance led him to the world of Hyrox, where his accomplishments have earned him recognition, despite being told throughout his life that his height would limit him in sports. Today, Travis is breaking barriers, chasing elite-level goals in the sport, and using his platform to raise funds for causes like Macmillan Cancer Support.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in sports resilience, overcoming personal challenges, and finding purpose through adversity.The MindSets Podcast, hosted by Angus Cook, dives deep into the mental strategies, resilience, and motivation of top athletes and fitness professionals.
