Triathletes Guide to Mental Training
Take two athletes evenly matched in skill, physical preparation, and equipment. Pitted head to head, the successful racer will be the one with the best mental preparation. And just as physical performance improves with a comprehensive training plan, mental preparation requires time and effort as well.
The Triathlete’s Guide to Mental Training will show you how to set effective goals and create a program that actively develops your mental skills to overcome the six psychological factors that can dramatically limit your race performance. With the information, techniques, and exercises in this book, Dr. Jim Taylor and Terri Schneider will help you identify and overcome the barriers that your mind places on your ability.
