Olympian Tony Jeffries on Success in Competition, Business, and Life
Olympian Tony Jeffries has accomplished a feat few others have - or will.
Representing his country at the highest level, he's persevered through 8 years of training, taken thousands of punches (literally), and kept moving forward - ultimately standing on the podium and bringing home a coveted Olympic Medal.
Today, Tony is off the podium, running 2 successful gyms in Los Angeles, California and talking to us on the Optimal Performance Podcast about the secrets of his success - in boxing, in business, and in life.
Meet Olympic Medalist Tony Jeffries, Owner of Box N Burn Fitness
Tony Jeffries is a high performer by any definition.
He's won an Olympic medal in boxing. He has an undefeated record as a professional boxer. He owns not 1, but 2 thriving boxing gyms in the LA-area. He also hosts the Box N Life podcast, trains a few professional fighters and created the Box N Burn Academy where he trains other coaches how to coach boxing.
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to get in the ring with Tony and throw a few punches at him before throwing questions at him on the OPP.
Namely, how does he get it all done and what are his secrets to success.
Tony landed most of the punches in the ring - and he lands just as many nuggets of wisdom in this interview.
Tony is a passionate, humble, hungry man. It was a pleasure to spend a few hours with him and I know you're going to enjoy this podcast and learn a lot.
