As an adult athlete, it can feel very overwhelming to try to dedicate enough time to every important component of your life.  While it’s important to identify yourself as an athlete while training for your upcoming events, your primary role in life is much more than just being an athlete. Being an athlete is a choice and your training is a hobby. As you train your body for your upcoming athletic event, it is important that you do not neglect your parent, spouse, family or job responsibilities just to be an athlete. In life, human beings have to make a lot of lifestyle choices. These choices help people function better in life with improved energy, mood, productivity and health. As an athlete, these choices are extremely important as they help you adapt to training while keeping you in good health, but they help with the flow of your extremely busy life.
