Do you know what the difference between training and competing is? 

In training you are methodically ramping up toward more difficult weights or more volume in running, lifting, swimming, biking. And then taking the pressure off, lifting your foot off the gas pedal. 

You can only turn and burn for so long before your body or mind starts to slip. Constantly redlining your engine will not create the best results you could get whether your result is a faster marathon, swim, bike, triathlon or more weight.  

There is a method to the madness of training hard and recovering. In this episode I will show you how to do it correctly

You can have the best intentions in the world, the best plan ever created but you still need to go through the process of EXECUTING the plan. 
Intentions mean nothing if you cannot execute and trust that you will achieve the results by following and executing the plan.
The process is the day to day simple tasks. 
The monotony, the boredom you face when you have to do yet another 5 mile run, yet another back squat day, yet another day of eating chicken, rice and asparagus. 
Can you trust the process and execute every day?!

 There was a lot of lessons in 2023 for me and I go into depth about the most important ones that I learned. 2023 was a big year of growth both personally and professionally. I learned how to control my thoughts better, how to not want things for others and be more considerate of their goals/wants. I learned that consistency is required with discipline, hard work and lots of effort, more than you thought necessary. How to conquer your self-doubt and take action even while you are feeling that doubt. This episode brings a ton of value and I hope you are able to take something away from this one!
