On our journey of life, we have these little races that we start and finish. These races are sometimes full of joy and happiness, but can also be full of sadness, challenges, and doubt. And, it is in those moments where we really need to press on.
In today’s episode, Coach Steve Dolan, the director and the head coach of the cross country and the track and field program at the University of Pennsylvania, provides some insight and coaching on how to run those races in your life, especially in this time of the pandemic where everything feels uncertain. Coach Dolan and Danny also talk about why positive self-talk is so important, why we must look for silver linings in what's happening right now, and why we should trust that the opportunities will come and that we have to prepare for it.
