195: The champion's mind (with Adam Nelson and Szymon Ziolkowski) - a podcast by HMMR Media LLC

We watch champion's win all the time, but rarely do we get a chance to see what is going on inside their head. On this week's episode we get to talk to two Olympic champions and see what their thought process is in competition, how they prepare, and how they've overcome some of the most difficult situations imaginable in sport. Tune in to hear shot putter Adam Nelson and hammer throw Szymon Ziolkowski share their experiences.
