Summary

The saying goes, “new year, new me,” but should it be, “new year, real me?” Today, we look at goals from a perspective of picking ones that will actually align with who you are as a person and athlete. We talk about why being healthy is a great ideal, but it can also be vague without diving in a little deeper. We look at building a strong foundation as a person and how to spend time wisely in the right direction. Now is the time to eliminate the “fake goals” that have been creeping into your life, and truly uncover who you really are.

Topics:

Figuring out who you really are and what you want
Standing in line
Goals can be anything
Do your goals make sense for you?
Egos and past selves
Being too excitable
Always being ready to say yes
Being healthy is very vague
Pay attention to what feels good and why
The best athletes think of triathlon as a lifestyle
Building a strong foundation as a person
Training in solitude
Holiday parties
I want MORE
Spend 2 hours a week working on you
Do you feel strong? Did you feel good?
The goal is to be more grounded in who you are
Fake goals. Fake Failures
