When your identity is rooted deeper than performance, pressure becomes purpose.
In this powerful episode of the Pure Jamie Milne
Podcast, I sit down with Hiko o Te Rangi Curtis for a körero that goes far beyond CrossFit.
We talk about whakapapa, Mãori identity, pressure, purpose, performance, and what it means to compete for something greater than yourself.
Hiko shares how his culture, his people, his ancestors, and Te Ao Mãori are not just things he represents they are the foundation that carries him through the hardest moments of training, competition, and life.
This is a conversation about belonging, humility, high performance, and the deeper mission behind becoming the first Mãori athlete to reach the CrossFit Games.
A beautiful reminder that when you know who you are, where you come from, and who you represent, you can access a strength far greater than self-belief alone.
