Athletes are great at looking ahead to the next season, the next race, the next goal. But before moving forward, there’s an important step that often gets skipped: finishing the year clean.
In this episode of the Finding Your Endurance Mindset podcast, Jennifer Vollmann explores why athletes don’t need more motivation to start a new season. They need closure.
Unprocessed races, missed goals, comparison, and unfinished stories create emotional residue that carries from season to season and quietly impacts focus, confidence, and consistency.
This episode isn’t about training plans or resolutions. It’s about clearing what athletes are still carrying so they can move into the next season lighter and more focused.
If starting a new season already feels heavy, this episode offers a grounded reset before deciding what comes next.
