  • 5 Things Pros Secretly Do in Winter (That You Don’t)
    Nov 21 2025

    Today we’re lifting the lid on five things pros actually do in winter. Not fluffy “stay motivated” stuff—the real playbook. Anthony and Sarah are in the thick of winter training right now, pulling back the curtain on how the pros use the “off-season” to quietly level up. Is it really a slower time, or just a different kind of hard work? From how they structure their weeks to the sneaky habits that set up next season, this episode is about the details nobody posts on Instagram—and how you can steal them for your own winter.
