Episode 70- Nick Greece and Comp Tactics, Discipline, Progression, Performance and Mentors


Nick Greece returns to the Mayhem to share a wealth of insights into competition and flying and some very honest talk about the manic ride that often defines our sport. Nick’s had quite a year. He was witness to a horrifying tandem accident in Kenya this winter; went from an easy podium to a cruel grovel across a swamp in the Pan Americans in Brazil; to the notable achievement of coming in dead last at the Brazil PWC and then just a month later dominating the Applegate Open (formerly the Rat Race) and winning with incredible style and grace. This is an honest and at times hysterical talk about the risks of our sport, dealing with PTSD, creating positive headspace, the psychology of finding flow, rationalizing the risks, finding mentors, how to be a disciplined pilot, the importance of staying calm and enjoying the process, racing the course instead of other pilots, why failure is important to winning and a LOT more. You’ll laugh, you’ll scribble, you’ll improve- LISTEN.
A buck an episode, that’s all we ask.
