Summary

Today, we go inside the coach/athlete relationship and show how it's much deeper than training and racing. We look at the importance of a clear mind so you can recalibrate during the day (or race) and create your own finish line. We also look at racing and how you can just see the anxiety in some people's eyes race morning. Where does it come from and how to find your pre-race calm.

Topics:

“Athlete A” and “Weight of Gold” Documentaries
Coaching Obligations
Once it’s gone, then what’s left?
Emotional health of coaches
The level of communication we have
Get someone to help you sort it out
Being empowered on your own
Intellectual property of coaching?
Making your own great race ending
Mike’s first finish at IMWI with Coach
Coach’s Rules for Spectating race day
Pre-Race jitters and calm
Nerves on the bike
Timing mats misplaced
Being calm on race day
Why next year could put MORE pressures on you
365 extra days to practice Tri-calc
We all have the same chapter in our books
Next year will be magnified
Paralyze by fear with everything to lose
