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.

Competition Preparation & Execution - How to get yourself ready, and use it on game day - E.373
Most athletes don’t lose because they’re undertrained; they lose because their systems fail when it counts. We unpack a full, practical framework for competition prep and execution that turns hard-earned fitness into points on the leaderboard. From building a “maturity meter” through daily habits to knowing exactly when to chase threshold and when to game a Metcon, you’ll get a clear plan you can run tomorrow.We start with becoming a student of the game: logging strategies, testing at real intensity, and identifying traps in event design before you face them under lights. Then we zoom into the taper: the lowest volume week with smart, safe intensity, plus a competition-week layout with a 3-movement primer Metcon and lift to wake your CNS without draining your tank. Traveling? We cover steps, mobility, time zones, and how to schedule warm-ups to the minute so you hit the floor hot, not flat.Fueling is where many athletes donate positions. Learn how to hold your ideal performance bodyweight in prep, carb load without bloat, and hydrate beyond the bare minimum. On event day, we explain why lowering core temperature via hands, feet, and forehead is the unlock to exit a catabolic state, how to send the “recover now” signal with whey and carbs, and why 40 to 60 grams of carbs per hour for three hours beats lump-sum strategies for later events. We wrap with execution: find your competition-only gear in transitions, micro-pace upgrades, and relentless movement—without redlining in minute two.If you want warm-up templates, taper structure, and between-event fueling you can copy-paste, this is your playbook. Subscribe, share with your training crew, and leave a review telling us the one tactic you’ll implement this week.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.
