Today's episode is another solocast - although a little shorter than previous editions. I wanted to explore what happens when an athlete falls under the spell of doing too much. First we’ll look at some examples of when athletes get hijacked by the urge, then we’ll spend some time looking at why it happens. And of course, we’ll wrap up with a few skills you can be working on to help you fight the urge and Do Less.
