006: Using Visualisation the Right Way with Zack George - Fittest Man in the UK

Today on the Limitless Athlete Podcast, you’ll be listening to a conversation between fittest man in the UK, Zack George, and Tom Foxley

Zack has an incredible journey of not only physical change, but mindset growth too. As you’ll hear, Zack was overweight as a child, subsisting on a diet comprised mainly of junk food.

However, Zack chose the route of growth and challenge in his journey from overweight kid, to one of the best CrossFit athletes in the world.

Along the way, Zack’s identity shifted in a deliberately chosen fashion. He discarded the unconfident beliefs which made him feel distant from his childhood and chose to leap into the unknown.

As you’ll find out this was far from the easiest path possible, but what helped guide Zack’s journey was his consistent use of future casting - in particular, visualisation.

We have to keep our objectives at the forefront of our mind if we’re ever going to achieve them. If we don’t, our old comfortable beliefs will take over.

One way of doing this is to refer to your goal as frequently as possible, to visualise yourself achieving it, and to feel those emotions of success along the way.

Alongside visualisation, Zack and I also discuss

• The value of goal boards in goal setting

• The role of body image in mindset

• The role shame plays in creating our identity and our behaviours

• And the value of your environment
