This is the time of the year for better or for worse most of us like to make New Year Resolutions.

On today’s show Rob covers:

Remove the finish line mentality

Volunteering

You must balance your sacrifices to mitigate personal guilt

Guilt is an athletic career killer for most adult amateur athletes
