“The idea for me was to get some help about how to overcome my fear regarding completing my first ironman. At the end this kind of race is a psychological battle more than a physical one when you have trained hard for it. I wanted to get some reassurance and some tools to help me on race day ensuring I would not give up”.
“The first thing is that all the tools and advice are really simple and easy to implement. Also the performance coach was very realistic and honest about what challenges I may face not trying to minimize them but just helping to know how to cope with them”.
The best thing is it worked very well for me. Not only I achieve my target to complete the ironman, but I did it in a much better time than expected and I truly ENJOYED it, which is even better”.
“It is worth doing some sport psych training. To achieve a goal in sport we dedicate a lot of time and effort in physical preparation, which is really important but your performance can really be significantly reduced if you doubt about your ability to achieve it or if you are not mentally strong when you need it”.
