Cold, Dark, Tired… Still Showing Up: Your Winter Consistency Blueprint🎙In this episode, Coach Kris Perry-Tedesco tackles a challenge every athlete faces at some point — how to stay consistent when motivation disappears, especially during the cold, dark, chaotic winter months.Winter disrupts everyone’s routine. The mornings are darker, the days are colder, schedules fill up, and energy drops. But the truth is this: you don’t need more motivation — you need better systems. Kris breaks down why identity-driven habits matter far more than fleeting emotions and how the strongest athletes stay on track even when the season gets tough.You’ll learn six coach-approved strategies to create real, lasting consistency, including habit stacking, building an intentional morning/evening flow, anchoring your training to a routine, leveraging accountability, focusing on progress over perfection, and understanding why winter is the most important time to stay connected to your fitness.Kris also shares the deeper meaning behind the Brunch WOD — our year-end consistency celebration — and why showing up during the hardest months of the year deserves to be recognized and rewarded.If you’re feeling unmotivated, inconsistent, or thrown off by winter, this episode will help you reset your mindset, rebuild momentum, and take back control of your routine. Consistency creates confidence — especially now.Motivation isn’t required — systems and identity are.Act as the person you want to become, not the mood you’re currently in.Habit stacking removes internal debate and builds confidence.Accountability is a superpower — use your community.Progress > perfection, especially in winter.The Brunch WOD celebrates the athletes who show up when it’s hardest.🎧 Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6uH9F3GY49W5oTA2HpnC7F?si=Zr4NDPOZS5C6JxX1TrUQnw▶️ Watch the full episode on YouTube:www.youtube.com/@warriorspathcrossfit🔗 Link in bio to tune in!linktr.ee/WarriorsPathCrossFit⚔️ Warrior’s Path CrossFit Websitewarriorspathcrossfit.com📝 WPCF Blogwarriorspathcrossfit.com/blog🥦 Nutrition Coaching with Coach Krisprocoach.app/coachkris⭐ Key Takeaways📲 Tune in + Join the Community

In this episode of The Warrior's Path CrossFit podcast, Coach Kris sits down with Coach Drew — yes, her husband and fellow WPCF coach — to talk about the life behind the barbell.

Now a Coach at Warrior’s Path CrossFit, Drew talks about what it really takes to run a great class, how substitute teaching prepared him for the coaching floor, and why power cleans, Nobull trainers, and ‘90s grunge have his heart.If you’ve ever wondered what your coaches do in their “other 23 hours” — or what it’s like to rebuild stronger after major surgery — this episode is for you.🎧 Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6uH9F3GY49W5oTA2HpnC7F?si=Zr4NDPOZS5C6JxX1TrUQnw▶️ Watch the full episode on YouTube:www.youtube.com/@warriorspathcrossfit🔗 Link in bio to tune in!linktr.ee/WarriorsPathCrossFit⚔️ Warrior’s Path CrossFit Websitewarriorspathcrossfit.com📝 WPCF Blogwarriorspathcrossfit.com/blog🥦 Nutrition Coaching with Coach Krisprocoach.app/coachkris
