EP. 44 - What You Need to Know About the Mind

Do you often feel like running is more of a mental obstacle than a physical one? Athletes of all experience and ability levels struggle with a similar issue: Overcoming the voice in their heads that says they can’t.

Today, our conversation addresses the common challenges of the inner dialogue, and how we can push negativity to the sidelines, in favor of a more positive outlook that is grounded in gratitude and excitement for our chosen sport!

Some of our key discussion topics include:

• Comparison Trap: The Enemy
• Imposture Syndrome: How to Overcome It
• Grace: Why You Need More of It
• Patience: Our Greatest Ally as Athletes
• Gratitude: The Solution

The mind is trainable! And we believe that awareness and the willingness to address these challenges, which are faced by all athletes (and people), will ultimately enhance your quality of performance and enjoyment throughout the process.
