Mike Sisselberger is redefining what it means to be an elite athlete. A two-time World Champion in the PLL, multiple-time All-American, and NCAA record-holder for the highest faceoff win percentage, he dominates both the PLL and NLL as one of the few dual-league lacrosse players. In this episode, we dive into his journey from wrestling to lacrosse, the mindset required for success, and the importance of strength training as a dual-sport athlete. Mike also shares his thoughts on supplements, the best pre-workout ever, and whether he'd rather bench 500 or squat 700.
