On this week's episode of the Gifted Performance Podcast, we have a man who needs little to no introduction. In 60 seconds, he can convey more information than your favorite coach does in five episodes of a two hour podcast. 


He is the founder of Catalyst Athletics and stands atop the pinnacle of US Weightlifting as one of the most decorated and well known coaches in the sport. Weighing in at 210 pounds, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, a jarring 5% body fat year round, twisted steel, sex appeal, the beard that should be feared, wearing the neon purple trunks.....Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeg Everett: @catalystathletics 


We had the pleasure of chatting with Greg about his training for the Tactical Games, how he approaches competition, and his new book Tough which is Greg's own examination of how to build true mental, physical, and emotional toughness for success and fulfillment. All links for pre orders of Tough can be found in our bio as well as the description of this video on Youtube. This book comes highly recommended by some of the best known and most respected figures in this space. Other topics discussed include: 

The possibility that we don't see Weightlifting in the Olympics after Tokyo 2021 
An overview of the competition that is, The Tactical Games - Greg and Gunshow's hardest transition points going from their previous sports to Tactical training - The integration of Weightlifting and Strongman training into Tactical training 
Programming errors and managing inputs within Tactical Games training 
Greg's keys to becoming "Tough" 

We want to give a massive Gifted shout out and THANK YOU to Greg for coming on. It was an honor to sit down and chat through all things running fast, lifting heavy, and shooting guns. We look forward to doing it again soon!
