I've been a traceur(parkour practitioner) since 2010 now, took the last year off to handle things in life, and allowed other things to get in the way.
So now I'm almost two weeks back into practicing, thankfully since I kept up the intensity in the form of running and weight training over the last year I can still do the moves, which is great.
After each training session I've noticed something interesting. The mindset of overcoming obstacles and looking at different ways to get from point A to point B has led me to developing a similar approach to problem solving and makes it so much easier to maintain a positive attirude and focus on the goal throughout the day.
My question for you guys is this, for those who have practiced intense and physically and mentally demanding disciplines(such as martial arts or a maniacal dedication to training for a sport), what are some of the biggest benefits you guys experience as a result that transfer over into helping you become a better and more effective entrepreneur?
