Tapering Your Mind: Mental Preparation Strategies for the Final Weeks Before Race Day
Episode Summary:
Welcome to another episode of the Triathlon Mental Performance Podcast.
Today, I focus on a crucial but often overlooked aspect of triathlon preparation: Tapering Your Mind.
As race day approaches, refining your mental approach is as vital as your physical taper.
We'll uncover the significance of reducing cognitive load, utilizing visualization, and managing emotions leading up to race day.
These strategies aim to sharpen your mental edge, ensuring you're as prepared mentally as you are physically.
Key Points Discussed:
- Strategic Mental Rest: Reducing Cognitive Load to Sharpen Focus
- Visualization and Mental Rehearsal: Fine-Tuning Your Race Strategy
- Emotional Regulation: Managing Excitement and Nerves for Optimal Performance
As discussed during the episode, If you would like to discuss working with me personally to ensure that you feel calm, focused and ready to race on race day, I offer 2 options:
- Working with me on a structured 4 week program consisting of 4 x 1 hour weekly calls plus unlimited support during and after.
- A 1 hour online video PowerPoint presentation which will take you through a condensed version of the program plus unlimited support also (this will be available on my website by the end of today (Monday 11th March) under online programs.
