Coaches often get caught up in perfecting the training. Writing the perfect workout with exacting splits. It’s easy to forget we are in the people business. And people are individuals with different needs, motivations and goals.
Confidence isn't about faking it. It's about truly believing you are ready to perform.
Real confidence can give a pre-competition boost in Testosterone. False overconfidence or bravado doesn't. Your body and mind know the difference between faking it and reality.
It's not about impressive workouts. It's about stacking week after week, month after month, of good solid hard work.
Give me months on end of solid consistent work over some lights out workouts, any day.
Everything in life - every single thing - is about the balance of caution and risk. You cannot always play it safe. You cannot always go all in. Figuring out which to do when? That’s the challenge before you.
we went to a new park today. and right at the entrance. was a big bucket of tennis balls with a little sign. that the human said was there in memory of a very good dog. who really liked tennis balls. and that i could play with one. to help that very good dog be remembered
It’s the last few sessions for the @multisportbrain @TriathlonCanada guys before they head off to start their season.
They have been working seriously hard in the weight-room with @RickySoos and @jhettler24 over the last few weeks! 💪
Plane etiquette in my opinion should be:
Aisle seat - gets outer arm rest and extra leg room; forgoes middle arm rest
Middle seat - full access to two middle arm rests; shit seat
Window seat - gets outer arm rest and somewhere to lean/good view; forgoes middle arm rest

Train, recover, train again. recover. Make decisions that others can't, (hold back in training, stretch, do rehab, rest, don't run faster than your coach prescribes, learn to lose and not quit) train when you're tired, conquer your mind, and enjoy it all. The greats keep going.
When things are not going as planned don’t use that as an excuse to give up but instead use that as a MOTIVATION to push harder.Never GIVE UP!
GO HARD OR SUFFER THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
