Listen "#25: When to Quit"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Jeff Alberts, Eric Helms, and Andrea Valdez talk about when to quit as a physique or strength athlete.
While most content on the internet is about how to get motivated or how to commit yourself in the long-term, this week's episode focuses on the flip side of that.
Nothing is forever, but some things can definitely be cut short or taken too far if you're not paying attention to the right things.
Eric, Jeff, and Andrea go over the common "make it or break it" points of the many athletes that they've dealt with over the years. Jeff discusses his multiple retirements as a bodybuilder, all 3 coaches discuss the times that each of them have quit our own competition seasons early, and why they think some people are able to maintain lifetime careers as athletes, while many others cannot.
If you've ever wondered how much longer you can last, or even whether or not this whole getting on stage thing is for you, you'll really get a lot of valuable decision-making ammunition from this episode.
