Age over Beauty. Old man wins the ⛳️

In my experience, successful athletes have a few common traits. Here's the main ones as food for thought going into the last 10 or so weeks of training for Coast 😎

✅ Super Consistent: Highly effective athletes prioritise frequency and consistency over sporadic, big efforts.

✅ The Power of Sleep: They treat 8-9 hours of high-quality sleep as the fundamental, non-negotiable cornerstone of recovery and peak performance.

✅ Win in the Kitchen: They maintain a sustainable nutrition strategy that prioritises whole foods, adequate protein, and smart fuelling to support both performance and wellbeing.

✅ Control The Controllable: They avoid dwelling on uncontrollable factors and instead focus their energy and effort on controlling what they can.

✅ Process Goals: They maintain motivation and measure training success by focusing on executing process goals rather than obsessing over race outcomes.

I see it all the time: a fixation on outcome goals. Standing on the podium or smashing a PB.

Motivating? Yes. Effective? Not always.

Here’s the truth:
Success is built over a long period of time, with clear, controllable process goals at the heart of achievement. That’s why top-performing athletes are masters of process goals.

❌ The Limitation of Outcome Goals
Outcome goals depend on factors outside your control:
• Weather
• Competitors
• Course conditions
When your focus is only on the outcome, you create pressure, anxiety, and frustration. Miss a session? Suddenly, it feels like failure.

✅ The Power of Process Goals
Process goals focus on what you can control:
✔ Training ex*****on
✔ Nutrition planning
✔ Session intensity and duration
✔ Post-session performance reflection
The result? Momentum, confidence, consistency, and mental resilience. All of which directly translate into race-day performance.

🧩 Framework for Success
Outcome Goal: Age Group Podium
Process Goal: Execute training as prescribed
Daily Habit: Post-session check: Did I follow the plan and hit my targets?
Small wins daily → Big results on race day.

🏁 Coaching Insight
Dream big, but measure success by what you control, not what you hope for.

Show up. Execute. Repeat.

The outcome will take care of itself 😎

Shift your focus from outcome goals to process goals in endurance sports to boost confidence, maintain momentum, and ensure long-term success through consistent, controllable actions.
