S2E20: Debriefing The CrossFit Open: Making Mindset Moves

In this podcast I’m going to explain how I debrief CrossFit Open performances with my athletes to help train their mindset.   This ensures no matter the result, they can use The Open to be better than they were before.   Before we get started, I need to reiterate something:   The quickest way to make The Open a complete failure is to learn nothing from it.   No matter if it went well or poorly, you stop growing when you stop learning.   The biggest mistake athletes can make right now (or after any comp) is failing to reflect on it by rushing onto the next thing.   I’ve found that if athletes go through this process they never regress. Of course, there’s some more depth I hit whilst in conversation with them, but these are my starting points   A mindset debrief comes in the following parts:

• Praising the positive intentionally
• Growing from setbacks and disappointments
• Increasing your self awareness
• Take action
