Episode Details

 Coach Chris and Coach Carlie, sports performance consultant, unpack why “I’m not motivated” often means “I’m feeling big emotions,” how to reframe perfectionism, and simple tools—like the 10-Minute Rule—to build an off-season you’ll actually enjoy (and stick with). 

You'll hear:

• Why the post-race motivation dip is normal—and what’s really going on
• Weather, daylight, and social routine shifts that change how training feels
• Perfectionism detox
• The 10-Minute Rule for low-friction consistency
• Journal prompts to get curious (not judgmental)
• Comparison trap: someone else’s training highs may be your peak
• Strategic resets: how stepping back can refill your cup
• Coach tactics: label “Optional,” pull unhelpful reds on Training Peaks and  celebrate effort
