In today’s episode, we’re diving into the &quot;paradox of habits&quot; and exploring when a healthy routine turns into a rigid attachment. Drawing on the wisdom of James Clear and the teachings of Buddhism, I’m getting real about my own struggles with &quot;tracker obsession&quot; and the pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect . We discuss why true greatness requires a flexible identity rather than a fragile one, featuring insights from coaching legend Steve Draffle and a powerful graduation speech from an Air Force Academy-bound wrestler . Whether you're grinding through 5 a.m. runs or trying to find your identity outside of your sport, this episode is a reminder that the path isn't easy, but learning to detach your self-worth from your external results is always worth the struggle .
