#754 – Confidence And Vulnerability - You are the ultimate decision maker

Today we give you the power to make your own decisions in training. As coaches we think it’s important for athletes to learn through trial and error. As in really learning . . . along with, believing in your gut. We look at an example of someone who was coming off being sick and due for an FTP test. Did they rest, or know deep down that they were ready. Also, we talk about owning how you feel… giving your body a real chance to decide. We talk about how to look for signs of life in workouts. Living to 99 years old with a sharp mind. And the power of combining confidence with vulnerability.  Topics:  Decision making in training  A little pro talk 99 years old and sharp as a tack Are you confident in your decision making? Nobody knows better than you When we put too much stock in situations Life isn’t about spoon feeding You’re alone on the course Calming down the chatter FTP test timing - yes or no? Own how you feel Looking in the mirror and saying “podium bound” When you’re sick, you start treating yourself better  2-3 day delay in how you feel Belief is important Understanding when you feel “on” and “off” Looking for signs of life in workouts Lowering expectations for better results Confidence combined with vulnerability   Coaching Inquiries Mike Tarrolly - CrushingIron@gmail.com Robbie Bruce - C26Coach@gmail.com www.c26triathlon.com
