I did promise you a follow-up to last weeks’ article, More is Not Better, in which I shared with you the experience of my life grinding to a halt within a mere few days, how I managed to salvage my work and health, and my subsequent epiphany about my current MO – and the realization that it was beyond time for a new one! Well, here it is. I will show you what I did to change my life so that I actually ENJOY each day, whilst still being productive and achieving my goals. Sounds like a win-win doesn’t it? It is. Here’s why.
#motivationmonday ✨

Well it’s been a tough week, that’s for sure! We’ve had all our races cancelled, most of them indefinitely; there’s uncertainty about future scheduled races; our squad sessions have been suspended; and now, training facilities have been shut down. Whilst it is all in the interest of health and safety of course, it doesn’t make it any easier to come to grips with!
.
One of the traps we can fall into now is to lose motivation, and lose sight of our goals. It’s understandable, with everything so uncertain. It can be a really frustrating feeling right? Particularly when we’ve been so committed to our goal for so long.
.
If you’re suffering demotivation and feel a bit lost right now, have a read of this article I wrote - To End the Struggle With Motivation, Reconnect With Your Goals (link in bio 👆🏻). I’ve listed a 7-step process to help get you back on the path to performance and rekindle your romance with triathlon. Even in these tough times!
.
I’d love to know whether this process worked for you, so comment below and share your story!

🌟 A SPACE OF OPPORTUNITY - WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?
#1, 2, or 3? The Do-Over, The Barrier Breakthrough, or The Weakness Workout? What’s your goal starting this week?
.
Rounding out my previous sharings on the opportunities that are open to us right now as athletes, I’m curious to know which one, or ones, you are going to leverage in this downtime? .
What is the one thing, if you addressed it, that would take your performance to a new level? .
How would this change your training and racing experience? .
Are you committed to achieving this change?
.
I’m so excited to hear how you are maximizing this time to work on your physical and mental strength for triathlon. We have an opportunity that would be crazy to waste! No pressure, no time restriction - just space 😊
.
For me, I’m keen to work on my bike leg. I feel this is where I could be so much better, if I really pushed myself to improve like I do in running and especially swimming. Running is natural, swimming has always been my weakness and thus my focus of late. But the bike fell through the cracks a bit. This is MY OPPORTUNITY to fix that - to do the work, to learn to push harder, and execute. No holding back to save myself for the run 😉
.
So gals, what’s your area of opportunity going to be? Comment below, I’d love to hear your goals and plans!

🌟 OPPORTUNITY #3: THE WEAKNESS WORKOUT .
To round out Friday afternoon, we have our 3rd “downtime” opportunity: The Weakness Workout 🏋️♂️ .
While this sounds very infomercial-esque, what I mean by “Weakness Workout” is taking the opportunity to do a review of your recent training and race performances, and identify any weaknesses. This could be a particular leg of the triathlon that’s weaker than the others; a lack of upper/lower body strength and power; or maybe it’s your mindset that is the weak link.
.
Whatever your weakness, this is the opportune time to refocus on improving it, without the stress and pressure of having to balance and maintain training for all the other legs and components of triathlon. .
So, what’s the weakness that you need to work on, in order to progress to that next level of performance? How much will this improve your ability to achieve your dream goal?
.
And most importantly, how are you going to fix this?! 🤷🏻♀️
.
If you’d like professional guidance from an experienced performance support practitioner and coach to eliminate these weaknesses, then DM me. I would love to support you to becoming a better athlete!

🌟 OPPORTUNITY #2: THE BARRIER BREAKTHROUGH
.
Happy Friday friends! We’ve got opportunity number 2: The Barrier Breakthrough 💥
.
What do I mean by this? I’m talking about the barriers that you faced during your training program that were unexpected; or the barriers that you foresee to you actually participating in that dream race or achieving that dream goal. .
Are the barriers in the areas of lifestyle management? Maintaining and optimizing your health through the program? Avoiding/managing injury and illness? Female health challenges? Fears or negative thoughts and beliefs about your capacity to actually achieve the goal? (ie. I’m not fit/fast/strong enough to do X; I’m not an Ironman athlete etc). .
What’s the barrier that you need to breakthrough 👊🏻 to enable you to achieve this dream goal? How are you going to overcome this barrier?
.
If you’re looking for professional holistic support to smash through this barrier for good and start achieving your big goals, then get in touch! I’ll be able to provide you the guidance, coaching and expertise in performance support that will give you the tools and strategies to overcome obstacles and get on the path to your goals .

🌟 OPPORTUNITY 1: “THE DO-OVER”
Times of adversity always offer opportunity, if we are open to embracing it. Whilst this current situation in the triathlon world is upsetting and uncertain for us, there are some constructive things we can do in this enforced break that will put us in stronger positions to restart our training and racing season as soon as we’re able. As promised yesterday, I’m going to share with you some of these opportunities that will help you get the most out of this period of time and ultimately, optimise your future performance.
.
The first opportunity is: The Do-Over.
.
Many of us got a good 2-3 months into our IM/70.3 training programs before the cancellations, and particularly for the first-timers, you got a nice taste of the reality of IM training from the physical sense, and also the stress of managing your lifestyle around the extra time commitments etc. .
So - what did you learn from this experience? What were the challenges you faced? If you could “do it over”, what would you change? What do you need to learn, or what would you like to do better next time? Now is your chance to address this!!
.
Once you’ve had a think about it and know what you would like to address in order to make it successfully to the start line AND achieve your race goal, then give me a shout! The support of a performance support coach to guide you through this process, and provide the knowledge and expertise to find the solutions can really fast-track this process.
.
Seriously, this is what I do best! And I would love to help you through this uncertain time and get you back solidly on the path to your performance goals.
.
So the question is, what would you “do-over”? And how are you going to fix it? .
