Are you looking to maximize your offseason training and set yourself up for success in the coming year? Mike Ricci, founder and head coach at D3 Multisport and After 40 Reboot, joins the CoachCast this month to talk all things triathlon offseason. Mike shares several tips that any athlete can do to take the offseason into race season with more momentum.
One main point Mike talks about is the power of writing down goals. He references a study conducted at Harvard in the early 1980s, where they found that students who wrote down their goals made significantly more money than those who only thought about them or didn't write them down at all - highlighting the importance of setting tangible goals and recording them to increase the likelihood of success.
With over 20 years of coaching experience, Mike has worked with IRONMAN age group winners and national champions. He believes in working on weaknesses during the offseason to set up the coming season of success. From goal setting to blood testing to strength and mobility programming, Mike and Dirk discuss how small adjustments to your training routine during this time can lead to significant improvements.
