Athletes need to care about their actions to succeed, but sometimes giving too many f**ks can set you back. In this episode we deep dive into Mark Manson's incredible book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k," and draw out lessons to help athletes in their training, racing, and everyday lives.
NOTE: this episode does reference the title of this book without edit, so discretion is advised. :)

Many athletes know the thrill of a great session — the effortless feeling, the sense of invincibility, or hitting a flow state. However, equally familiar are those tough days when nothing seems to go right. It’s easy to feel discouraged when training sessions fall short or races end in disappointment. Yet, these challenging experiences can be more beneficial than the easy, "good" days. In today's episode, we talk about why embracing the tough moments in your training journey can lead to greater growth and success.

Studies show the average person checks their phone every 12 minutes, or approximately 80 times each day. Some people check their phones even more frequently. With all of the buzzes and beeps, it is easy to be distracted by notifications popping up - and each notice comes at a cost: it takes about 23 minutes to return our focus to deep work on the task that was interrupted.
BUT: You can have control over your time, your energy, and your outcomes.
And we’re here to tell you how! Today, learn why - and HOW - to determine what notifications you really need and cut the rest.
