I believe in approaching training holistically, as a lifestyle, that encourages your overall growth as a human being, in line with your values & priorities. It should fill your cup, instead of draining it. It should elevate you as a whole. From the second you wake up, everything you think and do is a part of your training - mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You read books, write, create, meet people, care for family, work, rest, gather new experiences, put yourself in challenging environments, do hard things… all of this is also training. Because the athlete that steps out on the court, into the arena, or toes that line, is inseparable from who you are at the core. There is no line of division. The athlete and the person are one and the same. Optimize yourself as a human being, and performance comes with it.
