Do you feel rigid or low-key anxiety about life, training, or your job? Is it hard to “go off script” and just let go? Today, we get into why the drive for perfectionism can make things worse and how getting out of your comfort zone can make you a better athlete. We get into Mike’s college frat and constant fear of getting fired along Robbie’s table waiting and rehab days. All focused on how extracurricular activity makes you a more well rounded triathlete.  Topics: Sit back and relax Keto? Identification with sub-cultures Fear of exploring Trail running What do you “call” yourself? Freedom of movement  Fitness translates Perfectionism Chill or search for pain? Sum of Life Experiences Coaching Certification Waiting tables and Rehab Right, Left, Middle Do you have a “team?” Low key anxiety about getting fired The lure of the cult Vulnerability  Defending your tribe and all costs Embracing freedom Stealing candy --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
