Introducing: Tune-Up Tuesdays
A brand new weekly installment to tune-up your Tuesdays
Sunday scaries? Monster Mondays? Terrible Tuesdays?
No longer. No more.
Motivational Mondays are already here with your weekly Monday Morning Coach newsletter, highlighting how we can better push ourselves to get the most out of life.
Now, Tune-Up Tuesdays are an extension of The Monday Morning Coach, helping all of us to stay motivated past the Monday morning motivational and into Tuesday when the reality of persistence is more challenging to carry out than the concept itself.
I like to say that music is the soundtrack of our lives. Music helps us move, find a rhythm in life, and adds sound and color to a sometimes dreary world. So when the newness and motivation of Monday wear off, or we forget about it, sometimes we need a "tune-up" on Tuesday. And what better way to tune up our motivation than learning what tunes (music, soundtracks, albums, artists) help drive and motivate other people just like you?
The objective is to interview and profile artists, current and former athletes, and coaches to offer varying perspectives on how music influences how we compete, work, and stay motivated when it's sometimes challenging.
Music played a pivotal part in shaping my world as a former athlete, musician, and current athlete and coach. Music and musicians help fuel my faith and work ethic, and they help me better identify my moods when I sometimes "don't feel like it." I know I'm not alone, so I wanted to see and share who also uses music as a crossover experience to compete with the mundaneness of their lives.
I already have a great lineup of individuals—some friends, family, and some who I have made online acquaintances with—who've agreed to share their thoughts on what tunes up their "Tuesdays" and helps keep them motivated.
I'm really excited about this segment of The Monday Morning Coach, and I hope you are, too! Please share with a colleague or student-athlete. And if you're not already subscribed, please do so here. You won't want to miss out!
Last thing before you go: Are you interested in being interviewed for a Tune-Up Tuesday and sharing what tunes help keep you motivated? Let me know!
