Summary
Many of us get into triathlon to figure out who we really are and that process is more effective and enjoyable if we love the sport. And loving the sport is a process. Today, we reflect on Kobe Bryant’s life and his passion for, not only the game, but everything he did, and tie it into our daily approach with triathlon. Kobe’s death is a painful reminder that life is fragile and triathlon is much more than just the numbers – it’s about community, connection and helping others. Today is about finding your sweet spots in training and appreciating the little things to make net gains.
Topics:
- The power of a little break
- Goaded by peer pressure
- Kobe Bryant’s impact on us
- Painful reminders of how fragile life is
- Overcomplicating what matters
- Life is hard enough without complicating it
- Combining love for the sport with wanting to be the best we can be
- Burnout rate
- Type-A Celebration
- Becoming your best, not “the” best
- Is Triathlon a “net gain” for you?
- Slowing down the least
- Chasing PRs
- Figuring out who you are as a person
- Breaking up the rocks - uncovering your the truth is often painful
- Love what you love
