Dean Asks:
Basically, anything that can be expanded on with respect to an athlete that has plateaued and is lacking mental motivation to be active would be helpful.
If an athlete has a big goal 8-12 months away (win nationals, fast time at a triathlon, loose 20 pounds etc.) What do they do today? (Habits?)
What is a first step to reaching a goal? (or new years resolution). How does an athlete decide where to start?
What are common missteps when athletes have time and a big goal?
Is there a way to motivate daily goals or habits? (pairing with other? reward? … what works in your experience?)
Favorite books/movies etc. that have shaped you as a person/professional/athlete?
Recommend a consummate athlete we should pursue?
