The Forging Iron Podcast with Griffin Jaworski
We dive into the science and stories of endurance athletes, authors, physicians, nutritionists, and psychologists to see what comes to the surface.
"As iron sharpens iron, people sharpen people." - Proverbs 27:17.
As an endurance coach, athlete and current Master's in Applied Sport Psychology student, my aim is to help you make the most out of life through sport.
Happy training!
- Coach Griffin
