Show Notes
- Remember that performance longevity comes from building a broad foundation, not specializing too early. Rachel’s journey shows how developing physical literacy across different sports creates durable, adaptable athletes who can thrive for decades. Whether you’re coaching youth or managing your own training, variety isn’t a distraction; it’s your long-term advantage.
- Don’t overlook resilience as a trainable skill. Rachel reminds us that true toughness isn’t just mindset, it’s about having the right resources, networks, and recovery tools to stay in the game. Build your resilience “backpack” with mentors, consistent habits, and a strong support system. The most successful athletes, and professionals, don’t go it alone; they use every resource available to keep progressing.
