Or sick people? the power of believing you can do something, confidence, coach-athlete relationships, retirement, re-focus after a setback. We also go into the power of believing you can do something, confidence, coach-athlete relationships, retirement, re-focus after a setback. Of course, we are concerned about the infamous 'Post-Ironman burnout' and how that relates to struggling with retirements. Race-day nerves and how to set better goals and resolutions.
