SETTING GOALS IN THREE PARTS

Have you started thinking about the 2021 season already, or looking even further ahead than that? This week on the podcast and on the website, we broke down the way we're approaching goal setting these days. We're talking about figuring what the heck your Point A (where you are now) is, your Point B (where you want to go), and what we're arguing is the most important part, the FUN Middle. (Not sure how to set your next goal? Book a phone consult to talk it through!)
 

• Goal Setting and the Fun Middle

• Goal Setting: Are You Missing the Middle?

Oh--and in case you missed it, we have big news: On November 15, our new book, Becoming A Consummate Athlete, will be released! It's basically everything we talk about around training, all in one place. It's broken into a few key sections:

• How and why embracing athletic identity is a critical step to healthy habit formation

• The way to form a habit—and make it stick

• Recovery habits that will help improve performance, from sleep to visualization

• Fueling advice that makes meal prep into an athletic endeavor

• Training considerations so that you’re ready to tackle any adventure, anytime

• Gear hacks and organizational tricks to make getting ready to roll out a snap

• Recording techniques that actually help further your goals, not just collect data

• …And of course, what to do when things go sideways

We are SO excited about it!

Have a happy, active, healthy week!!
