#712 – What This Sport Means To Us - Revisiting Your Why

It’s easy to forget what this sport means to all of us, and sometimes it’s good to go back to the origins of our why. Today we talk about the phases everyone goes through and how easy it is to let negative thoughts rule our emotions. We get into channeling our thoughts in the right way in training and racing. Taking on your race in digestible chunks. We look at how easy it is for the mind to get ahead of our body. Searching for growth, navigating back to baseline and the power of hanging in the middle. Not too high, not too low. Anxiety is normal, it’s up to us to say f*ck it, we’re moving into the fire. Smile, relax, and enjoy life.
