This week, coach Jeff Cunningham discusses how people in life transitions can chase new passions without becoming “all consumed." He contrasts being productively "all in” for defined windows of time with letting a goal become an identity that causes neglect, anxiety, or spiraling when training or races go poorly, and warns about hyper-obsession with diet and clean eating. He argues balance is often a cliché and reframes it as healthy imbalance, where excellence requires weighting time toward a pursuit while protecting non-negotiables.
