Ep 49 - "Superman" - with Levi, Larry, Rewell & Jason
Manage episode 327308392 series 3104077
Jason details interview with mixed martial artist Georges St. Pierre's view on the changing landscape of sports competition. What used to be the platform for human performance is now the stage for super human exploits. However, this is not only a recent phenomenon, a long sordid history can at least be traced back to the 1988 Olympics.
The shocking revelation: superhuman performances are not limited to the sports arena, rather the sports world is a microcosm of the social structure. To achieve high levels of success, requires assistance, enhancement. Some of the most renown names have disclosed the use of extraneous assistance. Thus the notion that hard work, determination, and focus is all you need to achieve and sustain the highest echelons is a facade, there is a cost.
