Summary

Motivation is fleeting. How do we train and live in such a way that we're looking forward to what's next? Not down the road in 10 months, but what's next today and tomorrow? Today, we look at finding a good combination of freedom within the discipline. Do you buy in to your direction or are you struggling with understanding the real goals? Do you have conviction for what you're chasing?

Topics:

Four reels per week?
What's the top thing to do right now?

Racing season is our school year
Finding a freedom and discipline mix
Athlete buy-in and conviction

Creating new options
Enlightened monk is like winning the age group
Less conviction to one thing

It's YOUR dream
