What Would We Say to an Athlete Struggling to Find Motivation to Start? - Federico (Sr. Associate Coach)
If an athlete is struggling to find motivation to start, I would suggest setting goals that are challenging yet achievable—something that inspires without overwhelming them. The key is to break down the larger goal into smaller, manageable steps that require effort but in a way that’s spread out. Seeing progress in small increments can be a strong motivator to keep going.
Additionally, I’d recommend starting with activities they enjoy, even if they aren’t the most ideal for their ultimate goal. This can ignite that initial spark of motivation, and as they move forward, we can gradually shift the focus towards what’s really needed. The trick is to help them see the process as both progressive and exciting!

A balanced diet rich in carbohydrates fuels long or intense efforts, while proteins aid in muscle repair and recovery. Proper hydration ensures optimal body function, and essential vitamins and minerals like iron and calcium help prevent fatigue and injuries. Overall, nutrition helps runners maintain stamina, recover faster, and perform at their peak.
