Building Athlete IQ: What is it. How do you develop it. How is it different for coaches and athletes at all levels. - E.377
A stronger engine won’t save a weak strategy. We unpack the Athlete IQ triangle—mind, body, and experience—and show how smarter decisions, realistic expectations, and consistent recovery convert raw fitness into reliable performance. We start with the mind: maturity built from tiny habits, patience to trust the timeline, expectations that stretch without delusion, and dedication that actually fits your life. If the goal demands three hours of training and nine hours of sleep, we talk about how to close that gap or change the horizon, and how a supportive circle makes the heavy lift possible.Experience is your competitive edge. We turn daily training into data by tracking warm-ups that unlock better bar speed, pacing that holds under fatigue, and break points that save your grip. You’ll learn to spot patterns from CrossFit history and apply the OODA loop—observe, orient, decide, act—to make mid-workout adjustments that outpace your rivals. When you iterate faster, you win the quiet battles that decide the leaderboard: transitions, sustainable splits, and efficient movement choices.Body is where belief meets stimulus. GPP expands the ceiling, strength lowers effort at the same output, and skill practice sharpens neurological efficiency under fatigue. Then we zoom into the other 23 hours: sleep, food, and downtime that create supercompensation. If you’re always on, you’re never fully on—turning it off is a performance skill. We close with a coach–athlete pact: both sides go as far as the other. When commitment is matched and the triangle stays in balance, results compound week after week.Hit play to raise your Athlete IQ, then tell us where you’ll level up first. If this helped, subscribe, share with a training partner, and leave a quick review so more athletes can find the show.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Every Time You Quit, Someone Else Gets Your Prize: Stress, adaptation, and the art of showing up - E.375
What if the secret to leveling up this season isn’t a new cycle, but the courage to keep showing up when everything says stay home? We call it monsoon season: the messy middle when daylight fades, holidays crowd the calendar, and motivation leaks. The athletes who keep climbing the leaderboard aren’t chasing hacks; they’re mastering simple behaviors done relentlessly and refining how they think when the day gets heavy.We break down two mental models that turn anxiety into action. Zoom in to shrink overwhelming sessions into solvable chunks: one minute, one transition, one cue. Zoom out to see the long arc: one bad interval among 1,500 training pieces is noise, not destiny. Then we dig into why resistance is a gift. Stress—applied in the right dose—remodels your body: stronger hearts, richer capillaries, better fuel use, calmer baselines. That same logic applies to the winter slump; train the “show up” muscle like you train legs and lungs.Here’s the catch: your gas tank is one system. Life stress, training volume, and recovery all pull from the same reserve. That means more work can make you worse if you’re already cooked. We share practical ways to find the GPP sweet spot, avoid maladaptive volume, and recover on purpose with sleep, breath, sunlight, easy walks, and real downtime. We also connect sport-to-sport mechanics—how fixing early extension in a golf swing mirrors better positions in the snatch—so you can transfer skill, not just sweat.Before each piece, define “get better today.” Sometimes it’s heavier or faster. Sometimes it’s better positions at 70 percent or composure when the plan cracks. And sometimes the win is simply walking into the gym on a day you would have skipped. That identity—rain or shine—compounds into results you can’t out-hack.If this resonates, follow the show, share with a training partner, and leave a review so more athletes find it. Got a small win from today’s session? Tell us—we want to hear it.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.
