STANDARDS
When it comes to standards, how do you know what your standards are?
The first thing that I would propose is to ask yourself what your standards are.
What do you think you need to hold yourself accountable for?
What do you think you need to do to become better?
What do you think has to be part of your program to become better?
What factors, not just from training but from a holistic standpoint, need to become part of your training?
Then, once you have those defined, you'll want to write them down and be able to stick to them. That way, when you're not where you need to be, you can look back and say, "Oh, it's because I haven't been doing number three or number four." Whatever that standard is on the list. I can't tell you what those standards are; those are going to be for you to define. If you're working with a coach who knows you and knows your training very well, they could help define that for you.
Standards are not something for a complete stranger to impose upon somebody else; they need to be self-imposed or imposed in part by a group of people who really believe in what you can do, want to help you move in the direction you want to go, have been there themselves, and can help define that from an educational and experienced standpoint, while also supporting your own basic individual needs.
