In this episode, host Lena Burkut and Coach Jack Tinsley break down a simple, three-layer goal-setting system for wrestlers and families: outcome, performance, and process. They cover age- and experience-based goals for beginners, intermediate families, and high school athletes, and explain how to pick one goal per bucket (skills, body, mindset) to build consistent progress.

Listeners learn practical tips for parents, how to handle setbacks and injuries, and a clear challenge to write three focused goals in 72 hours. The episode emphasizes refining core moves, tracking progress, and keeping goals flexible and actionable throughout the season.
