Building Grit & Mental Toughness in Athletes “Safely” + 5 Training Tips

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Mental Toughness. Here we go again. One of the most overused phrases in the coaching world. What is it? How do you help athletes "Get Tough" and why is it even important? Well, being a kid who grew up in the 80s and experiencing countless training styles and coaches, I am smart enough to see the changes and the evolution. And with all this experience comes a lot of mistakes and knowledge. What worked in the 80s and 90s doesn't always work today. As a high school athlete, my coach … [Read more...]

Training with a Navy SEAL

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

About 15 years ago I was training a bit with a Navy SEAL. He was in Israel at the time, but eventually came to the states. His training regiment was brutal.

He told me these were not jogs, but all out races and "Joe" was out to win, every single time. The other three days Joe would swim a good 30 minutes.
