I reached out for mental performance coaching when I was given the opportunity to participate in a Team Building challenge for work. It was a 6-day challenge in Africa that included a combination of running, hiking and mountain biking. In preparation for this challenge I started listening to endurance/ultra training related podcasts and realized the importance of seeking mental performance support, or else I probably would have never considered it. After my first session, I knew this kind of support was exactly what I needed. I look forward to every session with my Mental Performance Coach as I know I will always receive a new and different perspective. When I have doubts about myself and my abilities to accomplish my goal, I am reminded to trust my training and "box of tools", which helps me release self-doubt and regain/boost my confidence. My Mental Performance Coach is always able to show me that "I can", and that I do have a "formula/method" for success. Working on my mental game has helped with my adventure training as well as with my confidence at work and in my personal life. I have especially benefited from being coached on how to use imagery/visualization effectively.
