Summary
“Opportunity is often missed because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work” – Thomas Edison
Ever fear the regret of not living up to your potential? Today we dig into what work looks like in your training and your life. “Work” often has a negative connotation, but it is the essence of what makes us who we are, both as people and triathletes. Not only that, it is rewarding and can be fun if you have the right passion and purpose. We also look at seizing the moment to find breakthroughs in your training. Our bodies tell us long before they need to do something and it’s up to you to recognize the opportunity. The work and the challenges ARE life. To get better and find more satisfaction, we need to take calculated risks along the way. We also need to develop healthy fears so our Sophomore Slumps don’t last for several years.
Topics:
- It’s not about the result, it’s the hard work
- The benefits of hard work
- When going rogue is good
- Taking chances
- “I just felt like I needed this today”
- Know thyself
- Is there Risk? Is there more reward?
- The body tells you long before
- It’s YOUR journey
- Why do you feel like you need something?
- Measure you’re own intent
- Taking risks
- No one is ever done
- Opportunity is often missed because it shows up in overalls and looks like work
- Winner’s work
- Negative connotations of work
- Healthy fear
- Sophomore Slumps that last for years
- Appetite to work hard for passion and purpose
- Community
