Listen to this episode if your motivation and commitment sometimes wane (uh, hello, whose doesn’t!?): The guest is mental skills coach Carrie Jackson, the author of On Top of Your Game: Mental Skills to Maximize Your Athletic Performance. With hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, the guest outlines:

-five questions to ask yourself to find your athletic why; 

-ways to reconnect to the joy + fun of your sport; 

-why you don’t always need to set the proverbial bar higher; 

-how goal-setting helps you hold onto your commitment; and, 

-other things that can masquerade as lack of motivation. 

Before Carrie Jackson joins around 10:54, Liz details her recent trip to a rock store and Sarah shares about the unwavering generosity of one Jersey runner.
