When kids play, then never seem to want to stop. How can we find that love for the game in our daily training? Today, we talk about how to approach sessions. So many athletes want to put the hammer down, but this is an art of knowing how and when. We'll look at the concept of grinding and why that tends to lead to friction that haunts us later. We look into how a lot of athletes leave their race in training. We also talk anxiety, depression and addiction. How did we get here?? And we get into our "why" and how it's really probably a simpler answer than you think. Play like a kid and find your freedom. Topics - March Madness Tri Season is Here!
