  • Bruce Young on Normalizing Success, Practicing Failure, and Mindset Mastery
    Apr 16 2026

    We sit down with Bruce Young, a 62-year-old, four-time CrossFit Games athlete, to unpack the mindset, coaching, and habits that keep masters athletes sharp and improving. From GNAT to PAT, process over results, and training failure states, we map a clear way to compete stronger at any age.

    • finding the sport you love and committing
    • building a tribe that normalises success
    • separating results goals from process goals
    • replacing negative automatic thoughts with positive ones
    • writing the target number before the lift
    • pre-competition centering and gratitude rituals
    • practicing failure states to handle chaos
    • coaching that confronts habits and expands ceilings
    • heat, humidity, and environmental prep as an edge
    • applying athletic mindset to parenting, music, and work
