Lets have a think about what are the main differences between you and elite triathletes who get paid to do this:
They are probably younger.
They have probably always been good at sport.
They have never been fat.
They have the genetic advantage.
They are very driven and tough.
They don’t have a job.
They prioritise their training 100% above all else.
They have a team of people helping them.
Now lets think about which of those you can do something about?
We can all become tougher and harder on ourselves, although this isn’t always good, depending on your character.
You CAN get people to HELP you.
For me this is the number one controllable that we can influence to improve our performance and it is why coaching has become a full time job for people, who would never have thought that a serious option 20 years ago.
The rise of the coached athlete is massive.
People realise that if they pay someone to be accountable to, they improve their chances of success.
The coach will tell them when to push harder and when to back off.
They will be a voice of reason.
In a head which can easily have so many voices going on it, that we can appear to be going nowhere – Fast!
Sure there will always be those going alone but they will stumble and falter more and whilst they may get there in the end, it will take them longer.
They must learn from their mistakes and that can result in wasted years.
If your 23 thats not such an issue.
You know where this is going – people don’t have coaches for their nutrition – only the Elites do that.
Because they know what a huge difference it can make.
The difference for them between winning and losing.
For you, it could be the difference between getting round the course or not.
Or maybe between Pb’ing or Not
Or maybe between feeling less embarrassed in your wetsuit on the start line.
