#238 - Training To Your Personality

Mike was listening to an interview with Din Thomas who trains MMA fighters and he classifies them into four categories: Fighter, Athlete, Competitor, and Artist. He believes different athletes require different approaches and today, that’s the topic that starts us off. What type of triathlete are you, and what type of approach will give you the best results?

Topics: 

• different approaches and personalities
• coaching as education 
• athletes need to take ownership 
• how to feel empowered 
• inspiration vs. condemnation
• Can coaches really motivate you?
• Understanding consistency 
• Red, Green, Yellow in Training Peaks
• Coaches aren’t Always Right
• Getting to the Edge but Not Going Over
• Ebbs and Flows of Coaching 
• Learning From Your Mistakes
• How to know if you’re going the right direction
• The unrecognizable build
