Coaching Cues 101 - Ski ⛷️ 

I’m starting a new mini series for all of the stations, simple cues I give to the team ahead of any races.

First up:

Ski Erg.. Think “Hat to pocket”

One of the biggest mistakes on the Ski Erg is wasting energy through excess movement.

Instead, think about keeping things tight and efficient.

Drive your elbows down towards the floor and pull the handles from just above your head (your “hat”) all the way to your hip/pocket.

Stay controlled, keep the line of pull direct, and avoid letting the handles drift too far away from your body.

Why this works..

We reduce wasted movement, keeps your stroke powerful and consistent & helps you maintain output for longer without burning out

Next time you’re on the Ski Erg, lock in “hat to pocket” and feel the difference 👊

How can the race blues hit so hard during that first session back?

The best way to get focused again?

Simply by getting back to it and lock that next goal in place.

Another race,

Another chance to get a PB,

Simply evaluate,

Realign your goals,

And go after them 🫡

As Nike says,

Just do it ✔️

All those hours of training,

Once you cross that finish line,

Will all be worth it.

Your race could depend on just one station or two during your next race.

It’s the one you slow down on.

The one you dread coming into.

The one that spikes your heart rate and kills your momentum.

So stop avoiding it.

If you’re bad at it, do more of it.

Not just mindless reps… but train with intent.

Make sure your form is spot on.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable there.

Turn that weakness into something solid… then into a strength.

And once it is?

Move on to the next weak station and repeat the process.

That’s how you stop having “bad stations.”

That’s how you become well-rounded.

That’s how you perform when it actually matters.

In Hyrox, you’re only as strong as your weakest station.

Been a busy couple weeks,

Doesn’t this sun just make everything better?

Good times have been had,

Spent time with loved ones,

Training goes well,

Coffee is ofc being drank,

Long let it continue 🤝

15km this morning… who even am I?! 😅

If you told me a while ago that I’d *enjoy* a run like that, I would NEVER have believed you.

I used to hate running, like can’t describe the hatred it.

But today?

Felt strong, steady, and actually present the whole way through.

No dread, no clock-watching… just me putting one foot in front of the other and loving it.

Funny how things change when you stick at them 😅

Proof that you don’t have to love something at the start, just keep ticking those boxes.

That’s where the magic happens,

Let’s keep going 🤝

Last night was one of those moments that puts everything into perspective.

Watching one of my best mates, , step into that ring and do something he truly loves, it hit different.

Not because of the outcome, not because of the result on the night but because of what it actually takes to get there.

Most people will never understand the level of courage it takes to walk into a boxing ring.

To put yourself out there, physically and mentally, in front of a crowd, knowing there’s nowhere to hide.

No excuses. Just you.

To put it in a similarities with what I do, it can be the same feeling as doing a Hyrox,

You can train for it, prepare for it, feel ready,

but when you’re in that moment, it’s just you versus yourself.

Your mindset, your resilience, your ability to keep going when everything in you wants to stop.

That’s where the real test is.

And the truth is, 95% of people will never do that.

They’ll never feel the nerves, the pressure, the adrenaline.

They’ll never test themselves in that way.

But Matty did. And that alone says everything about the kind of person he is.

Win, lose or draw, none of that defines the night.

What matters is that he had the courage to chase something that scares most people and he went all in.

I couldn’t be prouder of you mate.

So, the same could be said for you,

Do you want to make yourself proud and really step out of your comfort zone?
