Episode # 153 Coach-athlete expectations, unpacked.

from The 99% (A triathlon podcast) · host Jesse Vondracek & Marilyn Chychota

Episode # 153 Coach-athlete expectations, unpacked. Jesse sits down with Marilyn — former pro triathlete and Ironman Malaysia champion — to talk about what coaches actually expect from athletes, and how that changes across a career. Marilyn shares the picnic-table conversation where her own coach asked if she'd commit to the work for 10 years with no guaranteed win, a real letter one coach sends pros outlining the only 3 acceptable responses to direction, and the unglamorous 50-minute jog that preceded her first Ironman win by 18 minutes. A candid look at commitment, communication, and what it takes to get better.   Marilyn mcc.coach Jesse www.topsteptraining.com
