Summary

Communicating the right messages to athletes. Dealing with tough questions and situations. Today, Coach shares what he's talking about with his athletes during this time and gives his perspective on how to find optimism. We look at why races shouldn't matter. What's most important. And dealing with the voice inside trying to talk you out of it. When life throws you a curveball, sit back, wait, and drive it into the gap.

Topics:

Weirdness of isolation and going to the grocery store
Optimism about races soon?
What cities look with giving the okay to race
Where does the negative outweigh positive
Internal negotiations and talking yourself out of it
This should be your number one goal
Can’t find motivation, try thinking like this . . .
Dealing with Life’s Curveballs
The process of hitting a curveball by Mike
Races shouldn’t change your attitude
Fitness is essential for most of us . . .
Time to be flexible… and stay on task (19:00)
Our prediction for Muncie 70.3 race status
Jumping from 70.3 to Ironman analogy
Durability in time vs. distance
Frequent, but dispersed volume
Being prepared is what matters . . . no matter what
Day by day . . .
Use today to prepare for tomorrow . . . not 3 months from now
The Sun is Vitamin D
We have to do the best with what we have . . . every day
It’s not the race, it’s who you become along the way
Don’t waste this time, you don’t get it back
We all need wins 53:26 get out the door… quick fix
