I recently sat down with fellow OSU professor Dr. Tim Baghurst to do an interview for his GOAT Sports Performance website. We talked about a lot of good stuff, including using failure as motivation, the importance of visualization, and my take on what champions do - and don't do - during their journey. There is also some footage from my most recent contest prep in 2015.
Interview with GOAT Sports (16 min)
The video is relatively short (16 mins) and is transcribed, which makes it easier to watch. Thanks Tim for a great interview!
A big thanks to the WNBF for interviewing me as part of the competitor profiles on their site. I have competed with the WNBF since 2006, and still view the WNBF Worlds Overall title as the absolute pinnacle of natural bodybuilding. The profile gets into influential people throughout my career, and I also provide some advice for up-and-coming bodybuilders. You can check out the profile here: Brian Whitacre WNBF Pro Bodybuilder
I had the opportunity to do a really cool interview with Dr. Joos Meyer and the guys at PRYMD Radio late last year. These guys are focused on every aspect of optimizing human performance, and have had a multitude of amazing people on their show (including neuroscientists, muay thai champions, and cognitive experts). It was a great discussion, and we delved into some of the techniques I use in both everyday life and in bodybuilding - such as habits, planning, and visualization.
