Let’s set a framework for 2021 and to do so, it's important to know that what you do in the next nine to 12 weeks will likely determine your performance success for all of 2021.
This year especially, you cannot rely on re-running prior experiences or approaches to thrive going forward. You must learn lessons from adversity, plan within the context of your realities, and you must deploy some incremental aspects of your performance that -- perhaps -- were not important to you in prior years.
This episode is all about the Postseason, or the Preparatory Phase.
We don't train in the upcoming months. Instead, we prepare to train for the year ahead. How?
-
Providing specific focus and action items to focus on NOW -- and the coming two-three months.
-
Ensuring that our training and habit creation in the coming weeks and months are not rushed.
-
Applying focus with a long-term lens.
-
Developing a mindset of preparing the body to do the work over DOING the work.
Matt dives into two case studies of real-life athletes who have vastly different goals for 2021, but must employ a similar approach and athletic mindset to develop skills, resilience, and consistency.
If this part is done well, then the actual goal you establish will yield great joy, but it is who and what you become as you navigate the journey that is the most important yield. Keep this in mind, as this is the gold!
