World Champion skier Marco Odermatt – using your anchor

"My brain has already skied these runs many times, so if I make a mistake, it knows exactly what to do next."Reigning Olympic and World Champion alpine skier Marco Odermatt consistently implements a visualisation technique that’s become his anchor during races. It runs through his pre-performance routine like a red thread, and he uses it to ground himself and zone in on the upcoming task. In this episode of Mind Set Win, hosts Cédric and York-Peter discuss the role mental stimulation plays as Marco’s anchor, and learn how it helped the Swiss skier win the biggest race of his career to date in Beijing.The hosting duo then encourage listeners to identify a common routine within their own daily life. What is something you consistently do that has a comforting or grounding effect on you? The duration or type of activity isn’t what’s important, but rather how it makes you feel at that particular moment. Like Marco, you can then learn to use your anchor to find the right mindset that enables you to perform at your optimum level.
