As someone who coaches himself as hard as he coaches others, these are the habits I'm actively unlearning:

• Training through pain because stopping feels like quitting.

• Avoiding heavy lifts I might fail at in front of others.

• Undermining a good week because one session was off.

• Getting defensive when my body tells me to slow down.

• Believing that struggle means I'm doing something wrong.

• Needing my athletes' results to feel like I'm a good coach.

• Overthinking the program instead of trusting the process.

• Treating a setback like it erases everything that came before it.

The strongest thing I've ever done is decide to get better at being wrong.
