The Way of The Spartan

Vince Lombardi Quote: “Mental toughness is Spartanism, with all its qualities of self-denial, sacrifice, dedication, fearlessness, and love.”

In this episode Brett talks about the way of a Spartan warrior and how their ethos can be a lesson for today.

The foundation and mentality of the Spartans is formed since birth, and there is a direct correlation between the continued training and how it can be applied to our present life.

This, ultimately, was the way of the Spartan.
