Sport Psychology What is Sport Psychology?  Putting all the pieces together to succeed in reaching your race goals is challenging.  No matter what your goals are - a PR or less anxiety at the start.  The often overlooked component in your plan is the key to setting yourself up for success - mentally. We work hard on the physical training and often spend little to no time on our mental plan.  Negative self-talk and self-doubt set in and we lose the fun of the game, the race, event or fitness goal.  What carries an Ironman across the finish line, what is the difference between the top scorer in a volley ball game and second place? The majority of Ironman success, winning on the court, the field, in business or in life, is in conquering our mental game. Many successful professional and Olympic athletes routinely use sports psychology coaching to help them develop their mental toolkit for success. How do I get started?
