The Natural Resilience Podcast - EP9 with Rhys Mc Kee
Rhys Mc Kee is an MMA fighter currently fighting around the world in the UFC. His journey to the top has been anything but easy. Perhaps that's what makes him one of the most grounded and humble elite level athletes we have interviewed.This is without doubt the most in depth insight into the mind of a world class fighter that you will ever hear. The mental preparation, mantras and little techniques used in the run up to a fight, flicking the switch from Rhys the father and husband to Skeletor the warrior that wants to hurt his opponent in the cage.Hear Rhys talk about picking up aspects of body language from his opponent, to explaining how he processes walking to the cage and the nirvana of tapping into his flow state where he becomes "shark like" in the cage.It may sound brutal but it is a beautiful description of the peak of human performance in combats sports. A mindset that few can understand.We would if you could support the Podcast by hitting the subscribe button, It goes a long way in helping us get these inspiring stories out to the masses.If you would like new episodes up to 48 hours before they are released to the public, sign up to our podcast newsletter here - https://naturalresilience.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e0f168ed12c7c6c7cac2df93a&id=d173d39fffWe have a LIVE Podcast event in Balmoral Hotel, Belfast on 13th November with two huge guests.
