6 Tips to Unlock Your Full Athletic Pote...

Eli Straw
About this episode

What does it mean to unlock your full athletic potential? Does it mean you’ve peaked? You’ve reached the top of the mountain and there’s no more for you to climb?

Maybe.

But that is a challenge in and of itself, because how do we know if you’ve peaked? Isn’t there always a little more you can achieve? A little stronger you can become or a little faster you can get?

It’s hard to say you’ve reached your full potential without simultaneously feeling like you are accepting you are as good as you’ll ever be. And that is not a type of acceptance I think is helpful.

I want you to always strive to be a better athlete. And if that’s the case, how can I say we’re going to try and unlock your full potential?

Because, when we think about unlocking your full potential as an athlete, it’s about unlocking your full potential, today.

These 6 tips will help you unlock your full potential for any given day. No matter if it's for a game, training session, or practice.
