Description: TGIF! In this episode, I’m joined by Olympian Annie Kunz to talk about what it really takes to compete at the highest level- mentally, physically, and emotionally. Annie opens up about her journey to the Olympics, the pressure that comes with elite performance, navigating identity outside of sport, and the lessons she’s learned through setbacks, discipline, and chasing big goals. We also chat about her current workout split, how she’s fueling her body, & her daily non-negotiables to look & feel her best.   LINKS: Unsure where to start?:  MacroHabits | Get Started (https://www.macrohabits.com/get-started) 12 week 1:1 coaching form: MacroHabits | 1:1 Coaching (https://www.macrohabits.com/1-1-coaching) Workout Subscription! 7 Day Free Trial: https://my.playbookapp.io/hannah-pointer/checkout?promo=MACROHABITS Fav Electrolytes: https://www.pwdrs.com/products/electrolytes-pwdr (code: “MACROHABITS”) Follow Annie: annie_kunz7 0:00 – “Introducing Annie Kunz & Episode Overview” 2:35 – Annie’s Background & Athletic Journey 7:20 – Early Influences & Getting Started 12:10 – Competing at a High Level 17:30 – Training, Discipline & Daily Structure 22:55 – Setbacks, Injuries & Mental Toughness 28:15 – Balancing Life, Sport & Expectations 33:40 – Mindset, Pressure & Performance 39:05 – Lessons Learned Through Competition 44:30 – Advice for Aspiring Athletes 49:55 – What’s Next & Future Goals 55:20 – Final Thoughts & Takeaways
