Austin O'Brien is a CMPC (Certified Mental Performance Coach) and 2020 Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier and competitor. In this episode, we dive into the difference between outcome and process goals, the benefits and challenges of shifting to a mastery orientation, how to conceptualize race strategy, and more. Austin shares a ton of great nuggets of wisdom, whether you're an athlete, coach, parent or human being.
