Episode 68. Survive and Advance.

September. For me... it was my danger zone. When I coached high school I looked at the month of September with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Mostly anxiety. It was great to get the team back together in school but I also knew that coming back to school meant so much more stress for the athletes.

The schedules they had all Summer were about to get completely thrown out. Class. Homework. Sickness. Races. Teachers. Classmates. Sickness. Late lunches. Early lunches. Missed breakfasts. Poor sleep. September was hard. And we were supposed to get better while we dealt with all of this?

Everyone has their own September. Could be another month of the year like December or January or June. Could be a danger zone that lasts a week or a day. Sometimes it can feel like all you can do is survive and advance. So, if you can learn how to handle and deal with and get through your own "September" a better way then you will not just survive and advance you will thrive and move forward. That's what I did with my Septembers.

Hope you enjoy this episode and thank you to mindset performance coach extraordinaire tammie bennett of the show up society for another great MIndset Minute.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 67. How To Make Running Fun (Again).

You do know that running is supposed to be fun... right? This is a big and important episode. That's why I brought the best Coach Bennett to the show! That's right! Coach tammie bennett is back! She's the mindset performance coach that we all know and love and she's back for this most excellent episode. Running is supposed to be fun! Doesn't mean it's always going to be easy. Doesn't mean it's not supposed to be hard and challenging. It just means that running is supposed to be fun. And maybe those hardest and most challenging parts are supposed to be the most fun parts of it all!

When running is fun it means your ending runs wanting to run again and not dreading the next run. It means that you are being a better teammate to yourself. It means you have a better chance at getting better and having fun doing it. So let’s make sure that running is fun (again).

I hope you have fun listening to this episode.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 66. Suckcess: How To Deal With A Bad Run

Those crap runs. They're going to happen now and again. No way around it. Sometimes you're just going to feel sluggish, out of shape, slow. Sometimes you're going to be bored the entire run. Unmotivated. Uninspired. You name it. Sometimes you're going to know why the run was terrible and other times you're going to be lost when it comes to an explanation for the crappy run you just ran.

So, what to do?
Well, that's what this episode is all about!

By the end of this show you'll know just how you can look for and find the suckcess in a run that sucks. Believe me, it's there. And sometimes that suckcess can be the most satisfying, substantial, impactful and insightful kind of success.

I hope you love the the episode.
Cheers and thank you for listening!
