#725 – If It's Broke, Fix It

The off season is where the greatest dreams go to die, so if you really want to fix something or get better, now is your chance. Today, we talk about how a lot of athletes are trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist, but don't work on something that's actually broke. Both Mike and Robbie talk about their struggles in this area and how they are addressing them, because now is the best time. We get into how and why it's best to uandercommit and over deliver vs. the opposite track that most take. We look at resilience and how it has to be practiced or you won't have it in a race. We also look at the concept of failing to learn and grow. We also talk about why losing fitness is actually good for you.
