Welcome to Coach Bennett's podcast, where every run has a purpose, where kindness is

hardcore, where this is about running, and this is not about running, where every starting

line is a finish line in disguise, where rambling still gets you where you need to be, where

pineapple will never ruin your pizza, and the sodas, adult and not adult kind are always cold,

and where there is room on the starting line for everybody.

I'm Coach Bennett. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day. Let's get started.

Welcome to another episode of Coach Bennett's podcast. This one actually is episode 89.

And I'm saying that because for those of you that listened to episode 88,

the previous episode, I went on this huge ramble about how awesome 1989 was, the music,

the movies. I even talked about Taylor Swift's album, 1989, because for some reason, I thought

it was episode 89. It wasn't. It was episode 88. And you know what?

Stinks? 88's a great year too for all sorts of things. Arts, music, milestones, and I blew it.

I didn't talk about 1988 at all. And don't worry, I'm not going to talk about 1988 right now, even though I really, really want to.

But this is in fact episode 89. So you're not getting to episode 89s. You're just getting a

misnamed episode 88. So this is like I said, episode 89 stressed out. That's right. Stressed out. And we are going to talk about

this for a number of different reasons. First and foremost, because so many of you are telling me,

you're stressed out. But this isn't just for the athletes, the listeners that are stressed out

right now. It's for everyone.

Because the facts of the matter are this.

We will all be stressed out because it is a very human thing to be stressed out.

So this is for everybody.

Now, there's also a coaching component to this too.
