Episode 47: Justin Daerr on Intrinsic Motivation, Longevity vs. Performance, and Staying in the Game

The reason I use it from a, a mental toughness analogy standpoint is that there is nothing you can do to specifically prepare for each technical, 'cause you never know what it's gonna be.

But you can build up your belief that I can handle doing things that I don't fully know how to do.

[upbeat music] Hey, campers.

Welcome to another episode of The Infirmary, where my guests and I debunk myths and lead you instead to the best practices in endurance sport.

I'm your host, Chris Bagg, and I've been in sports my whole life.

An endurance athlete for over 20 years, a coach for 17, and a professional triathlete for 15 of those years.

During that time, I've noticed that the endurance world loves to make simple concepts complex, or it oversimplifies nuanced or complicated topics, usually in the pursuit of profit.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Here at The Infirmary, I'm committed to helping you find a clear, simple path through the endurance thickets so you can focus on what matters: improving at your sport, avoiding injury or burnout, and discovering the joys of healthy competition, participation, and community.

I hope we can have you feeling better soon.
