Lots of stuff I’ve found effective in this one. I’ve passed your thoughts to many across the years. We’ve seen what you wrote with Lexi’s performances.
One of the things I remember of your racing was that you were a great example of a very consistent racer with a very fast average performance. You didn't blow it out of the water most of the time, but you were always either in the top 5, or close and that allowed you to "be there" to have a chance on most occasions.
Really appreciate this one, Justin. If an athlete is having a hard time, I like to harken back to a year prior where we often can find that even in the trying time, they are a nudge above where a great day used to be…and if we can’t identify that, that is grounds for changing the approach.
Thanks Max. I think that looking back like that to get a comparison is a great idea. It can be easy to overlook just how much we have progressed over time.
Thanks for this; I agree that robustness plays a major role amongst successful endurance athletes who can handle a lot of varied adversity. While I didn't really cover it here, I think it also helps athletes in delivering 'clutch' performances.

Thanks G. Appreciate that. Lexi's progression and performances have been amazing to watch over the years.
@Gordo I use a quote from you (I think) occasionally “you don’t always have to feel good to do good.”
That one came to me from Molina - he won a lot of races when he wasn’t feeling great. A total of 100 pro victories.
Awesome. Tell him I said thanks. I use it often.

Is a really good one! Thanx for sharing!
