S1E22 - Aaron Rodgers at 41, Tom Brady at 45: The Second Chance Formula
Jake and Michael dismantle the "you're not as good as you used to be" BS by breaking down the aging athlete phenomenon—Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi—all performing at elite levels in their 40s.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: "What Used to Be Is Over" — Stop comparing 45-year-old Aaron Rodgers to his 25-year-old self. He's doing a hell of a lot better than some random 20-year-old. Focus on what IS, not what WAS. The Limiting Belief That Died — It was once "believed" that 40 was too old for professional sports. That was a limiting belief. These guys said, "I don't buy that bunk." They Made a CHOICE — Brady, Rodgers, and others made a decision: "My diet will look different. My exercise will look different. How I take care of myself will look different." ✅ Train 2x Harder in Practice Than in Game — Jordan practiced at 110-125% so he only had to give 50% in games. FBI training says you're only 25% as good under pressure as you were in practice. The Path to Mastery = Teaching — Every martial arts master has a dojo. Teaching IS the path to mastery. If you're great at something, it's time to become an educator.
THE BRUTAL TRUTH: If you're an enthusiast, it's time to become an educator. Nobody knows more about your thing than YOU
