Gary Fitzjarrell: The sport, costs, controversy and classification
Manage episode 398859032 series 2798803
Have you ever found yourself squinting at the classification system in the NSCA, or laughing over the latest internet forum spat? Gary Fitzjarrell is here to take a no-holds-barred approach to the quirks and quandaries in the sport. From the psychological tug-of-war within the competitive community to the raw truths of being in a sport where ego can often outweigh talent.
As the conversation veers into the realm of personal authenticity and societal sensitivities, Gary doesn't shy away from stirring the pot. We confront the reality of competition, the sting of judgment both online and off, and how humor can be a double-edged sword in a world quick to offense.
