I think going back to the, the values point, you know, I've heard that on, you know, many, many podcasts, you know, educational, uh, different things that I, I guess listen to and not just to do with sport.
But if you can really, you know, I, I don't wanna be someone sitting here going, "Guys, I'm gonna give you mindset advice now." But, um, as someone, if you, if you can actually nut out what your values are, and I'll be completely transparent here, I actually have what my life values are written in my notes on my phone.
Um, and sometimes, Jim, I don't know if you ever do this, but you know, it's easier said than done to actually remind myself.
I sometimes make decisions, um, bas- I, I look back at what those values are and go, if I'm really questioning if I'm wanting to do something or if I've said yes to something and I'm kinda questioning do I actually wanna do it, I go back and look at those values and I go, "Do they align?" And if they don't, sometimes it's hard, but it's, it's like you said, um, with the couple of examples you gave, it's actually saying no and, and respecting yourself that you know what? It's, it's just not aligned with my values.
so look, I, I know we could go into a big tangent again a- around that, but just going back to, I guess, you know, when you're handling setbacks, I mean, in my mind there's so many different setbacks that you can have.
There can be the ones that you're talking about in terms of, you know, being so attached to your results.
There's, um, life that can happen, um, you know, a sick child, um, you know, a family matter, whatever it might be that, um...
Or your training's just not clicking, and that's probably one that I, I would love to get into with you.
There's also the during the race setbacks and maybe let's start there because I feel like they're almost sometimes harder because you don't have a lot of time to work out how you manage a setback that you have during a race.
You literally have a split second to decide the person you wanna be with when, as an example for yourself, you've got a, a bad sled pull.
Do you think, Jim, almost having the setbacks in training, in general life can actually sometimes help with how you manage them then during a race?
Ab- absolutely, and I, I think like you, we have heard of like, um, a lot of athletes, world-class athletes who have, um, had a lot of setbacks in their life to then-
... um, are a, a lot more like, I'd probably use the word like robust in racing, um, or in training.
They're, they're just more robust like, and I use the word like meaning like they're just, um, like a, a, a... their ability to just, uh, get the job done no matter what the circumstances are.
And I don't even want to bring examples like sleds up, but with everything that we do, whether you are a athlete or not, we base our whole life around decisions.
