When we encounter failure, we can either use it as information, or we can protect our ego

When we encounter failure, we can either use it as information, or we can protect our ego. We utilize several strategies for the latter, including:
1. Self-Sabotaging Performance
2. Avoid negative feedback
3. Blame external factors
4. Change our comparison point. "X did worse!"

Don’t buy into the myth that kids can’t run a lot of mileage in high school or they’ll get hurt/burned out.

Ran 70+ miles/week all high school, no major injuries til senior year of college, loving running more than ever 14 years as Pro

Key is if they want to vs. forced on them

Athletes need to find an atmosphere that allows the them to reach their potential.

Let me be the 1st to say @HansonsDistProj is not about making athletes better. That’s never been our goal.
We feel that our role as a fully funded professional training program is to create an atmosphere that allows the athlete to reach their potential. The athlete does the work

My Youngest Son has been Loud and Proud since day one.

Dear Younger Self,
I know you are afraid to come out of the closet. I know you are terrified to lose your friends. I know your concerns are that your teammates are going to refuse to room with you at meets and that you’ll be banned from the locker room when it’s time to change.. pic.twitter.com/7LpkoHIiDd
