📌 Thursday Update: No Q&A Call — Let’s Talk Discipline & Burnout Instead
Hey team — Quick heads up: I’m switching gears this week. Instead of our usual Thursday Q&A Zoom call, I’m dropping a new video that hits on something a lot of us are feeling but rarely talk about out loud… Discipline burnout. Not the kind that comes from being lazy or lacking structure—but the kind that creeps in after years of grinding. Years of forcing it. Years of showing up when it hurt, when it didn’t make sense, when nobody else believed in you but you still did it anyway. I had a great message from someone in this group who said it perfectly: “I clawed my way back to playing several times — shit is exhausting.” That hit. And I know she’s not alone. So this week’s video is all about: - Why the “discipline = freedom” mindset can backfire after sport - How to swap grit for systems so you're not relying on willpower 24/7 - Tactical ways to make training & nutrition easier, not softer - The shift from “earning it” to simply supporting yourself - What healthy discipline actually looks like now that you’re no longer chasing scholarships, trophies, or playing time 🎥 Watch the video here: https://www.skool.com/formerathlete/classroom/bd93d9fc?md=f143ca2c43ed45a2ad17cb364ea57dc1 I’ll be around in the comments all day Thursday—so if something in the video hits home, drop your thoughts, questions, or your own story below. Let’s have this conversation right here in the group. No pretending. No pushing through. Just real talk. – Adam
