    Can Endurance Athletes Truly Learn from Other Athletes & Coaches?

    This Coach Tip Tuesday is the 416th one that Coach Laura has written; today we’re celebrating the EIGHTH anniversary of Coach Tip Tuesday!  Coach Laura was inspired to keep sharing something she wrote every Tuesday by her friend and mentor Coach Brendan Jackson.  So, in what has become an annual tradition since that first Coach Tip Tuesday eight years ago, she is sharing something inspired by what she learned from Brendan for the anniversary of Coach Tip Tuesday. No matter how many people we have to teach us and guide us along our endurance sports journey, ultimately, we must learn through our own experience.  The successes teach us something, but the failures actually can teach us more if we are open to receiving the lessons they carry.  Perhaps ironically, the cost of failure is what teaches us the most.
