Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Pillars podcast, the first episode. That's right. It's a new name, but I am still your host, Dylan Bowman.

And I hope you had a wonderful holiday and new year. And we are starting off 2021 with an Ask Me Anything, the first of these that I've done.

I put out the bat signal on Instagram and got a lot of

really great questions. So I'm going to power through a bunch of them now until I start to feel

like I'm rambling too much and hopefully leave you all with some of my limited wisdom. I've got a lot of

really fun guests lined up for the next several weeks

that I'm super excited about. But for now, you're stuck with me and me alone. So thanks for being

here. Before we get to it, just want to give a quick update on the Pillars app that I've been

teasing for a couple of weeks now. Many have asked. So I just wanted to

reinforce here that, of course, we are a bit delayed due to the holidays and final app store

approval, a little frustrating, but really it's no big deal. So thank you guys so much for

your patience. I was hoping to have the app available by the time we changed the name of the podcast, but

beggars can't be choosers, as they say.

And it's given me an opportunity to practice patience myself, which is definitely not my strong suit.

So deep breaths, deep breaths, it is coming.

If you haven't already, please do go to pillars.com and subscribe to the mailing list there and also follow at Pillars on Instagram so that you can stay up to date. I will put those

links in the show notes. But for now,

let's get started. Ask me anything. Question number one comes from Jason Hardrath on Instagram.

And he asks, what are three things that young athletes should focus on developing in addition to

their performance.

This is such a good question.

And it's something that I think about a lot and care about a lot as I get a little bit older
