Train Your Mind - Tips From A Sports Psychologist

from The Alchemical Life · host Abigail Crowe

In this episode, I sit down with Christopher Stanley, a sports psychologist who's worked with track and field athletes at the Paris and Tokyo Olympics and author of 'Right From the Start'. We talk about the difference between therapy and sports psychology, the benefit of implementing mental training principles in sport from a young age, and the specific skills you can use during a training block — and on race day — to manage nerves, break through mental blocks, and actually perform when it counts.Grab Chris' Book: https://www.amazon.com/Right-Start-Performance-Adolescent-Athletes/dp/B0FYNXL3TQ/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BLYkrlt8fam6w8m5hTLhyM5QH2XKd28bLwnKRJQPnF0.SOEfLNnxG_tvJQwz7kO42lYMMiStwurgHQSFSgtV2WA&dib_tag=se&keywords=right+from+the+start+christopher+stanley&qid=1785772092&sr=8-1MY COACHING: https://coach.alchemicaltraining.com/welcomeMY WEBSITE:  www.alchemical-training.com DISCOVER YOUR PROGRAM: https://www.alchemical-training.com/quiz MY SOCIALS:instagram: www.instagram.com/abigail.croweFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HvsU9Ajas/?mibextid=wwXIfr Don't forget to leave a review!!!
