Behind the Scenes of Rodeo Life: Stories, Struggles & What It Takes to Win

Based on Episode: "Summer Rodeos, Mindset, and Staying Fit on the Road"

There’s nothing quite like life on the rodeo trail — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. In this week’s episode of the Champion Living Podcast, we’re peeling back the curtain and bringing you straight into the stories that shape us, challenge us, and fire us up.

We kicked things off with some classic podcast bloopers (yes, we still mess it up sometimes), relived a few wild internet moments, and dove headfirst into the chaos and beauty that comes with chasing this western lifestyle.

But this episode is more than storytelling — it’s about the real lessons we’ve learned along the way.

What You’ll Learn from This Episode:

Family, Farm, and Fishing: The parts of life that keep us grounded when the schedule’s crazy and the pressure is high.

Judging & Arena Setups: What it’s really like behind the bucking chutes and inside the mind of a judge.

The Mental Game: How to deal with failure, bounce back from a rough draw, and keep your head right when the stakes are high.

Staying Fit on the Road: How we train when we’re on the go — and why it’s non-negotiable if you want to perform consistently.

Rodeo Isn’t a Shortcut: It’s about doing the work, mastering the fundamentals, and learning from every setback.

Whether you’re a bareback rider chasing the NFR, a high school kid dreaming big, or someone who just wants to live a little more intentionally — this one’s for you.
