The Power of Competition with Forrest Griffin

In today's episode, I am joined by Forrest Griffin, retired mixed martial artist and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. As the VP of Athlete Development at the UFC Performance Institute, Forrest shares insights on athlete growth, the importance of competition, and the cathartic nature of conflict. We explore the complexities of athlete development, the challenges of receiving feedback, and the parallels between coaching and parenting. Forrest also reflects on the evolution of the UFC, the value of in-person experiences, and his unique perspective on leadership within the sport.
