When More Isn’t Better: Paige Semenza on competition overload, recovery, and rebuilding momentum - E.379

In Episode 379, Drew sits down with Paige Semenza to unpack one of the most challenging seasons of her career — a year defined by injuries, travel, overlapping competitions, and hard decisions.

They talk candidly about:

• The hidden cost of chasing every opportunity
• Why skipping competitions can be harder than showing up
• How narrative and identity shape performance
• Finding the “sweet spot” between exposure, recovery, and growth
• Why growth — in sport and life — is supposed to feel uncomfortable

This episode isn’t just about elite competition. It’s about decision-making under stress, learning when to pull back, and rebuilding momentum after things don’t go as planned.

Whether you’re a Games athlete, a competitive CrossFitter, or someone trying to balance ambition with longevity, this conversation hits deeper than the leaderboard.
