Success as identity alignment A more meaningful finish line
Success isn’ t just what you achieve … it’ s how well your actions reflect your values.
Ask yourself:
• Am I growing?
• Am I acting with integrity?
• Am I balancing training with the relationships and values that matter most?
Athletes like Allyson Felix and Rich Roll have redefined success to include family, purpose, and wellness. You can too.
“ Your athletic identity can evolve … and that evolution might just be your greatest performance.”
The most meaningful metrics don’ t fit on a smartwatch. They’ re measured in the lessons you learn, the people you uplift, and how sport shapes your life beyond the field.
When you broaden your definition of success, you give yourself permission to thrive … even when the numbers don’ t.
“ Redefining success isn’ t about lowering the bar … it’ s about broadening the lens.”
Final thoughts
Athleticism isn’ t just about performance. It’ s about presence. Not just competition, but connection. Not just outcomes— it’ s also who you become along the way. So, yes, keep the stopwatch if you want. But don’ t forget to measure what really matters.
