#28 5 Pre-Season Tips to Get Noticed & Level Up
4TG
Pre-season is where reputations are built — but it’s not about flogging yourself to prove a point. It’s about building trust, training with intent, and staying consistent long enough to actually improve.
In this short, sharp solo episode, Kylie shares 5 practical pre-season tips for female athletes who want to get noticed, improve selection chances, and level up without burning out.
From being the teammate who lifts standards, to setting micro-goals, using your coach like a cheat code, and recovering properly — this episode breaks down what coaches actually notice in pre-season.
In this episode, we get into:
- Why the “hardest worker” doesn’t always get selected
- How to build trust with coaches and teammates in pre-season
- The 3 questions to ask before training (and 1 after)
- How to set a North Star goal and reverse engineer weekly micro-goals
- The exact script to use with your coach for clarity and feedback
- Recovery rules to avoid burnout and injury (discomfort vs pain)
