The Athletic Philosopher Podcast - Episode 17 Unlocking the Good Life Through Sport with Keith Marquis

This is a special episode where I dive deep with my Tribal Training teammate Keith Marquis about his experience the past year building up towards IronMan Florida. It's the most intimate look I've given yet of how I coach my guys and girls towards their best selves through athletic competition.

Keith and I began talking shortly before he raced IronMan Florida in 2023 and I began helping guide him through a period of unspeakable tragedy and loss in his family and small community right after he punched through at the race. He wanted to share how conversations with me, and the right support from our team, helped steer him through turbulent times. Ultimately, his story reveals the beauty of sport to help us know ourselves deeply, the gives us the strength to face adversity outside of the arena, and to fill us up to serve and be a leader to others during those dark times.

Thank you Keith for being you, for having the heart of a champion, and showing what determination, grit, and resolve for yourself can do when surrounded by the right people who care. Ultimately, this episode is confirmation that opening up the heart, filling it up with your passion, and then serving others with that energy, is the blueprint for the living the Good Life through Sports. Love you Keith, can't wait to get into the arena together next year!
