How important is mindset really?

The outdoors can challenge us physically, but it’s the mental obstacles that often prove the hardest to overcome. We hear terms like “grit”, “resilience”, and “growth mindset” all the time. But how does time spent outdoors actually translate into a stronger mindset? And is there anything the rest of us can learn from those pushing the absolute limits of sport? 
 
On this episode of the OSI Community Podcast, we’re catching up with someone who knows a thing or two about both. Professional kayaker, big wave hunter, HUGE rapid specialist, and all-around hilarious human, Benny Marr (@bennymrr) will be joining us for a special conversation about mindset and outdoor sport.
