I have received an enthusiastic response from followers of my blog and social media to my recent post about the successful start<\/a> of my 2023 triathlon season. Based on the positive reaction, and requests from several followers, I\u2019ve decided to launch a new series titled, \u201cI Practice What I Preach\u201d in which I will share my triathlon journey this year with you.<\/p>\n

The focus of the series will be on the experiences that I have that, hopefully, all triathletes (and other athletes) can relate to, using the many attitudes, approaches, and tools that I offer the athletes I work with in my own athletic life, and, most importantly, sharing the lessons I learn along the way that might benefit others.<\/p>\n

I have been blogging on social media since 2009 and literally every post has been professional (meaning related to my work life). I suppose this series is a shift to a more personal approach, but one that blends my professional and athletic lives.<\/p>\n

I take pride in my having been a high-level athlete in several sports (ski racing, karate, running, triathlon) all my life. My sports participation has brought tremendous meaning, satisfaction, and joy to my life. I believe that it helps me in my work with athletes because they know that I didn\u2019t just read stuff in a book, but actually live it in my own athletic life. I\u2019m also able to test out new mental strategies on myself (I\u2019m my first guinea pig!).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to share my journey with you, from the major successes (hopefully) to the inevitable challenges and disappointments (likely). I hope you enjoy joining me for the ride.<\/p>\n

Be on the lookout for my first article in my new series next week.<\/p>\n
