Summary

As you shift away from the demands of racing in 2021, it is the prime time to focus on improving your weaknesses.

Why Now? This is time because overall training stress is much lower and you’re not under a burden to chase fitness for races.

Coach Matt Dixon (with a little help from his silent sidekick, Barry) discusses converting your weaknesses to strengths and turning your liabilities into performance improvements in 2022 and beyond.

In this episode, he centers his advice around three commonly identified weaknesses:

Being Constantly Prone to Injury and Niggles
Adult-Onset Swimming Weakness and Fears
Running Weakness

Remember, addressing any of your weaknesses takes courage as well as a long-term lens on your performance.
