This week my guest is one of the greatest triple jumpers of all time. He's a 10xAll American at the University of Florida, 3x NCAA champion, He's a 2x US Champion, 4x World Champion, 2x Olympic Champion and the first to defend a back to back title since 1976, he is also second on the all-time triple jump list with a jump of 18.21m. My guest this week is Christian Taylor. In this episode, we talk about the injury that stopped him from competing at the recent Olympic games (2021), How he approaches each day from a mental and spiritual standpoint, how winning a world title actually led him down a state of depression and how he found back his joy for the sport. How his faith and his family helped him stay grounded, how he finds balance and the importance of mentorship and priorities and so much more! Follow Christian on social: @taylored2jump
