16. Undeniable Truths & Lessons from Ironman World Championships with Troy Castle
Discipline. Consistency. And Emptying the Tank. Three things that today’s guest, Troy Castle, lives by in all things he does: being a Messenger in his Faith, being an incredible husband to his wife, and being an exceptional father to his newborn son, Cooper. After prioritizing his Faith and family, he is a dedicated triathlete, having just completed the world-renowned, Kona Ironman, along with placing 3rd at Ironman Chattanooga, and countless Ironman, marathons, and endurance competitions over the years.
You will learn what it takes to succeed in life and training, how Troy balances time between his family and Ironman, and his recent reflections on what triathlon has taught him over the last 6+ years of dedication. (Sneak peak into reflections: consistency is key, discipline and hard work outweigh talent, and your family, friends, and loved ones are most important).
You will learn how Troy uses a moral compass to make decisions, and the importance of communication with your significant other (or other persons in general) to work towards your goals and dreams, together.
I hope you enjoy this episode as I much as I did having Troy on the show. Troy is a man of honor, integrity, and has such a bright outlook on life, I know you will leave feeling inspired to go work towards your dreams.
Troy's Ironman Reflections Recap (in his words, see more here):
1. You can’t go at it alone. Your family and friends want to be part of the journey; invite them in and celebrate them for walking alongside you.
2. Salt is your friend, especially on the long days. ;)
3. When you’re ready to give up on something unfinished, commit to going 10 more minutes. Then another 10. Pretty soon you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. Finishing something you start speaks volumes to your integrity.
4. C is the most supportive & encouraging wife I could ever ask for; never take that for granted and make sure she always knows none of it would ever be possible without her.
5. There is no pursuit under the sun that will ever truly satisfy. There’s only One who can do that (this one is definitely the most important).
6. Never sacrifice quality time with the family for a hobby. A workout can be made up, but the reverse is not always true.
7. Humility, discipline, work ethic & consistency will take you much farther than talent.
8. Self-worth is not based on performance, race results or praise from others; your worth has already been paid for.
9. Having a plan is important but getting started is more important. You’ll learn the most through taking action.
10. Kona is a brutal & special race at the same time and will make you dig deeper than you have ever gone.
