Goal Setting on Different Levels
- Set goals at different levels, focusing on both big-picture outcomes and smaller routines.
- Personal coaches work on smaller goals and habits, while higher-level goals focus on peak periods and key results.
Varied Goal Setting
- Not all goals are result-oriented; they vary by rider type.
- For some, it's about top results, for others, it's about reaching a certain performance level or working on specific aspects.
Prioritize Habits Over Weight Targets
- Focus on habits and routines (90%) rather than fixed weight targets (10%).
- This approach provides more control and avoids extreme measures, promoting gradual progress and preventing health issues.
