Defeating the Off-Season "Mission Creep"

  Welcome to the Inspired Athlete podcast! In this episode, we're diving deep into the love-hate relationship many of us—especially coaches, teachers, and athletes—have with the summer off-season .

I get transparent about my own struggles with staying disciplined when the motivation just isn't there, and how drawing on wisdom ranging from Navy SEALs to ancient Stoics like Seneca can help us simplify our goals . We'll talk about how to eliminate analysis paralysis, build a solid morning anchor routine, and learn to truly execute and rest so you can conquer your off-season and focus on your purpose over outcomes .
