Summary
What does success look like to you in the coming year? For many athletes, the answer to that question is often anchored in a single metric: Speed.
We all want success, hope to get faster, and want to improve, but without a focused approach, it’s easy to lose sight of what you’re trying to achieve and how to achieve it. The dogged pursuit of a faster finish can lead to frustration and even injury, but taking a step back to see the bigger picture can help accelerate your progress and unlock the right training recipe for you.
With a new year looming, now is the time to reframe your goals and define success. In today’s episode, Matt outlines how to broaden your perspective in order to reset your barometer of success and identify the right goals for you to hit your biggest performance gains next season.
(2:05) "When we think about training for something, it's natural for athletes to just get drawn into faster, faster, faster, qualification, podiums, wins, whatever the metric might be... But what if we broaden our perspective on what this journey is all about? How about we think about a different way of progression, one in which you can always feel rewarded, you can always get something out of the effort that you put in, you can feel like you're progressing? Oh, and on top of it, ultimately, you end up getting faster and faster and faster than you can probably ever imagine."
In this episode, Matt discusses:
-
Building a Sustainable Training Recipe
-
Avoiding Injury
-
Upskilling Knowledge and Understanding
-
Improving Craft and Technique
-
Building Good Habits Around Nutrition and Recovery
The purpose of this episode is to assist you in reframing your goals to help improve focus, energy, health, and happiness in sport and broader life.
