Nat Young and Nike Training: Inner Strength

Professional surfing has, well, gone pro. Now today’s top surfers aren’t just living the dream and traveling the world (although they still are doing that); they’re also working their asses off. No doubt there’s still plenty of fun to be had on the dream tour, but nowadays, these competitors cross-train as hard as any other breed of professional athlete. Strength training, cardio, breath training, yoga, you name it, there’s a top 34 surfer (or top 17)  who’s tried it. It’s no secret that fitness has become a huge part of the game. However, in this video, world #10 Nat Young talks about how training isn’t just for your body; it’s for your mind. See how Nat builds confidence and resolve through training, and get a glimpse into the mind of one of surfing’s elite competitors.
