Energy and Attention
Sep 03, 2025When my clients (athletes and coaches) move in-season, everything changes.
Long-term planning shrinks.
The horizon disappears.
The rhythm becomes day-to-day, week-to-week.
Every conversation seems to be about reacting to, rolling with, and managing the moment.
And yet, no matter where we start, we tend to circle back to two themes:
- Self-care
Your body is the instrument.
Diet, sleep, hydration. They’re not luxuries. They’re the foundation.
If you’re run down, you can’t rise to the challenge in front of you. - Attention
Noise is everywhere. The season will never hand you quiet.
The skill of skills is focus.
What systems help you put your best attention on the few things that matter most, right now?
That’s the real in-season work: managing your energy, managing your focus.
Do those two things well, and almost everything else follows.
