Do
you perform better in training than in
tri events?
Are
nerves or intimidation holding you back
from your full potential?
Or
are you looking to move to the next level?
No
problem! Mental training is an enormously
powerful weapon in triathlon - where
endurance, energy, instinctive movements
and clear thinking are so
essential to success.
When two
or more triathletes of similar talent and
physical skills compete, it's their levels
of mental strength which
gives one the vital edge.
Training
your mind allows you to compete in
competition events more confidently,
compete in pressure situations
with a clearer and calmer mind, and fully
executing all your training expertise with
greater authority whenever it really
counts.
As
a mental trainer, for the past few decades
I have worked with a vast number of athletes,
teams and coaches from all over the world, teaching
mental toughness and peak performance - and
many times it was with triathletes
to boost their
training and competition performances, and
deal with various issues and challenges they
encounter.
The 'Zone'
Mental
training can also help you to access The
Zone - the mental state that delivers
your peak triathlon performances, where you
compete at your most freely and instinctively,
and always delivers great results.
When
you are in the Zone, you feel like
you can do absolutely anything out
there - moving with effortless and
smooth power, and with perfect efficiency
- and where everything you try comes off.
You
see, contrary to what most people think, when
you are training or competing at your highest
level, most of the time you are not consciously
'thinking' at all -
your movements are
actually flowing instinctively, on
auto-pilot.
This
process is co-ordinated by your powerful
subconscious mind - which controls all of your
body's movements and contains all
your triathlon experience in its vast
memory bank.
Basically
it's the sleeping giant inside you, just waiting
for your instructions.
Champions
in every sport use far more of their
subconscious than their competitors, and
mental training methods help you to make
stronger contact with this enormous ability.
The
subconscious is an amazingly powerful mechanism
which works almost exactly the same way as
a computer - and it knows exactly what
you need to succeed during any event.
For
instance, your mind knows the choice
to make in every competitive situation, and
also the correct strategy you need to implement.
Yes, it
knows your performance and capabilities backwards - because
it stores every piece of information about
your training and events in its memory bank.
Unfortunately
there is also a flip side - as the weaker conscious mind
does not always allow this perfect auto-pilot
process to happen.
Your
conscious mind can sabotage your ability
with nerves, doubts and negative thoughts, which
can cause missed opportunities, slumps
in form, fear of success
or failure, and preventing the
triathlete from realizing
their full potential.
In
the past I was asked by several coaches
and triathletes to create
specially customized mental training programs
for them, and using a potent combination
of mental training methods - visualization (sometimes
known as mental rehearsal, imagery, or
visualization), affirmations,
relaxation and hypnosis - their results
soared.
There
was never any doubt about the results as
mental training methods work in ALL sports,
because they go directly to the very source
- the subconscious mind.
The
mind controls the body, not the other
way around - and so by bringing
regular mental training in your
normal training routine, your results
quickly begin to transform.
The Psychology of Success - Benefits of Mental Training in Triathlon
Mental
training helps
us to also create an attitude, mindset
and expectation of success - a
deep inner belief that you will perform
strongly each time you compete, and
that you can succeed no matter who your
competitors are, or how big the event.
When used correctly, mental training has shown to deliver consistently
strong results in triathletes of all levels, every single time.
Most
often these improvements are shown in the
areas of:
-
increased
belief and inner confidence in
your ability, skills
and performances
-
overcoming
nerves,
intimidation and self
sabotage
-
increased consistency
and concentration during
performance, in both
training and events
-
clearer
thinking and better decisions during
the heat of competition
- overcoming
negative thoughts,
negative self-talk, and
lack of belief in your
ability
- stronger
performances and results,
especially in competition
|
Mental
training gives triathletes that edge
over their competitors in the
vital areas of confidence and inner belief, and
their ability to handle pressure and intimidation
- and this transfers directly into confidence in
their ability, and ultimately their results.
The
Power of Visualization
Visualization
is one of the most powerful mental training
methods used to transform performance at
intermediate and elite levels of sport, right
around the world.
This
involves regularly and realistically picturing in
your mind the exact way you want to perform during
a event, which helps to pre-program performance such
as:
- Mentally
rehearsing your performance to
peak efficiency
- Training
and performing consistently
- Overcoming
nerves and handling pressure easily,
making all the right moves at all
the right times
- Believing
in yourself and your ability
to win, and clinch
victory
- Being unaffected
by intimidation from your competitors

When
used correctly, visualization brings
major improvement to almost any area of triathlon
performance - however it needs to be
used correctly to get best results.
For
instance, the correct level of relaxation is
required during visualization - as this opens
up the link to the powerful subconscious mind.
Also, the
mental images need to be powerful, emotionally-charged,
and realistic to create
a new program within the computer-like mechanism
of the subconscious mind.
Overcoming
Self-Sabotage
- and Accessing the Sleeping Giant Within You
One
of the reasons why mental training must be used
correctly is that unfortunately the mind
can just as easily sabotage us as it
can help us - and this often occurs
when visualization is used in a negative way,
when we do not even know we are doing it!
Self
sabotage can sometimes occur because
our thoughts - including our negative thoughts
- are automatically converted pictures
or images within the subconscious, which
programs these in for our next event or performance.
These
thoughts are much like running a constant movie
though your mind all day long, which is programming
your future results - and so it is important
to ensure the technique is used positively and
correctly.
Sabotage
can occur in the form of not performing under
pressure, not closing out events from winning positions,
making incorrect choices under pressure, becoming intimidated by
competitors,etc.
Possibly
the most valuable aspect of mental training is
that you can totally customize it each
time to suit your next competition or event,
by creating the visualization to be exactly as
you choose.
For
these reasons I finally created the Mind Training
for Triathlon program, which combined
hypnosis & visualization
into one easy daily recording.
It
takes you through the exact mental
state, hypnotic suggestions and visualization
required to maximize your performance, quickly
and easily.
As
with most of our programs, this particular
recording was created after being asked to create
specially customized versions for elite triathletes, which
ensures that every area of performance is covered
and can be successfully tailored to any future
performances.
This
recording can be used any time of the
day, in the convenience of your
own home, and can also be used on an
ongoing basis for as long as you require it - saving
you the cost of private consultations which
can often cost several thousand dollars.
It's much
like having your very own personal hypnotherapy
session, to prepare you to meet your
challenges ahead with unlimited power
and unquenchable belief.
The Mind
Training for Triathlon program
contains a powerful hypnosis & visualization recording
available by mp3 download, and is
easily used on:
-
iPod
/ iTunes
-
mp3
player
-
mp3-compatible
cell / mobile phones / smart phones (download
to computer, then transfer to iPhone,
Blackberry etc)
-
burned
directly to CD
or
even played directly from your computer.
- at
any time of the day or night!
It's
suitable for all ages and standards,
and intermediate to elite levels - to
transform results over the weeks and
months ahead.
But
referrals always speak louder than words
- here are some thoughts from just a
few of the thousands of triathletes who
have used the program over the past ten
years.

"I
am now looking forward to
each day instead
of focusing on missed sessions
due to other commitments.
If
I have to miss a session, I
now regard my visualization
as my preparation for that
day.
This offers
the opportunity to become
stronger even though
not a step, swim stroke or
pedal stroke has been taken.
I
appreciate all that you do".
George
Wallis, UK
"I have used the recording about the last 4 out of 5 days. This
morning I listened to it and than went out and did my last big training session
before the triathlon next weekend. It went great. I
swam 110 lengths in the pool which is close to 1 1/2 miles and then biked 29
miles. Everything felt smooth! Thanks".
