INSIGHT

Busy Seasons Need Strategy, Not Abstinence

  • Busy seasons don't cause failure; a lack of strategy does.
  • The right framework lets you enjoy events without undoing progress.
ANECDOTE

Origin Story From Elite Sport

  • Jess developed the framework in professional sport to help athletes return ready for pre-season.
  • Without a real-world strategy athletes either blew out or over-restricted on return.
ADVICE

Use The Trifecta Decision Tool

  • Use the Trifecta to pick one area to relax: nutrition, alcohol, or exercise.
  • Lock the other two areas in so one slip doesn't derail your progress.
