As the new year approaches, many people focus on setting resolutions or goals for the coming year. But this time is also a great time to reflect on how things went for you this year. In this episode, we break down how to do an athlete self-assessment to recap your year, and how to use that to help you set goals for the future.
If you'd like to do your own self-assessment, here are the questions we suggest:
1. GOALS
- What were my goals? Were they reasonable? Did I meet them?
- Do I still care about this goal?
- What factors played a role?
2. TRAINING
- Were you consistent?
- What plan did you use and did it work?
- What were your strengths?
- What can you improve on? (THIS is a great place to start thinking about base-building goals)
- What type of training did you like most? When did you have the most fun?
- What type of training did you dread or avoid?
3. LIFE
- Did you have any major life changes/events this year?
- How balanced did you feel?
- How did you navigate this balance
- Any periods youβd want to shift/reconsider in future years?
- Any races or distances youβd want to shift/reconsider in future years?
This is just a start! For more on goals, check out Ep 122: The Life-Changing Magic of Writing Down Your Goals: https://youtu.be/ZvTdrLgYFyc

Yet, these challenging experiences can be more beneficial than the easy, "good" days.

And weβre here to tell you how! Today, learn why - and HOW - to determine what notifications you really need and cut the rest.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly... who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." - Teddy Roosevelt

How do we process our suffering, along the way to achieving our goals? How can we easily move beyond our setbacks, and not let the emotional toll of suffering keep us from pushing forward? Maybe all it takes is the reminder that our successes lead us to our suffering, that it will always take this process for our bodies grow, and that the most simple things we can for granted every day can give us the power to persevere. Β This is water.Β

When you have a lot on your plate, had a bad day, etc - approach your workout by bundling up those feelings and fears and placing them at the door so you can 'walk in' to do work. It'll be there for you when you're done, and picking it back up may not feel as heavy.
