The best athletes take time to reflect on their prior seasons and to learn from both their wins and their mistakes. Doing this allows you to take those lessons and use them to plan the next season and advance both your training and your results.

This is a practice that I believe all athletes should do at the end of each season, and even better if you can do it with your coach. Join me as I have that conversation with a coached athlete of mine: pro gravel racer Kyleigh Spearing. We chat through her season, what we learned, and what this next year will look like!
