| 0:00.0 | What's up, Motivators? Happy New Year, everyone. Welcome to a new season and a lot of people. |
| 0:05.2 | Every single year, whether it is going to your first race or going to your 50th race, |
| 0:09.8 | most people are entering the races that they want with some goals in mind. |
| 0:15.1 | We hear this every single year where people have big goals, very big personal goals. And sometimes those personal goals |
| 0:22.4 | are just finish a race that intimidates them. Sometimes it's get on the podium of a local race. |
| 0:28.1 | Sometimes it's qualify for a world championship. But in every case, we're all pushing to be a |
| 0:33.3 | better version of ourselves. And whatever that better version of ourself means, whether it's just |
| 0:37.9 | finish or finish fast, they should all be rewarded and we should all work to set ourselves up |
| 0:44.3 | with the highest likelihood of being able to achieve those goals. What I see, however, is that |
| 0:50.9 | there are so many instances where people set lofty goals and the way that they |
| 0:55.8 | set those goals is actually setting themselves up for failure. So in a lot of cases people |
| 1:02.6 | hear, well, you need to set a goal and without a goal you're not going to succeed. And yes, I agree |
| 1:07.7 | with that, but there's a little bit more to it that the way that you set a goal, |
| 1:12.5 | how you choose what the goal is. Do you have one goal or do you have four goals? Do you have an outcome |
| 1:17.2 | goal or do you have a process goal? All of these things that surround all of your goal setting |
| 1:23.5 | are going to dictate how likely it is that you're going to actually reach your goals. So I thought |
| 1:29.0 | that it would be very worth today being the start of the year, worth diving into how do you |
| 1:35.2 | structure a training plan in conjunction with your goals so that they complement each other |
| 1:40.6 | and you're going to be more likely to actually reach your goals so that you enjoy the |
| 1:45.7 | process of reaching those goals. And so that if you get to that goal and reach it, it's so much |
| 1:51.0 | more fulfilling and maybe even a bigger goal than you would have set if you didn't use these methods |
| 1:55.8 | or maybe you get to that day and you just don't have the stuff on race day, but you can still |
