Welcome to another exciting episode of the Collide Kids Podcast! Today, host Christen Clark sits down with Peter Nestler, a seven-time world champion jump roper and holder of 12 Guinness World Records, to dive deep into the world of rope jumping and self-discipline.

Peter’s inspiring story begins in second grade, where he transformed early struggles into a driving force for success. From not making the jump rope team to becoming a world champion, Peter exemplifies how perseverance and self-discipline can lead to extraordinary achievements.

Throughout the episode, Peter shares his unique training methods, starting with his weakest points and gradually building strength. His unique approaches to training included, training for months underwater, and crafting a custom metal jump rope. Peter’s journey emphasizes the importance of embracing weaknesses and finding joy in the process of self-improvement rather than just focusing on outcomes.
