Summary

Back on the podcast is a household name, Shannon Thompson MAPP, NCCP!

Today's conversation particularly centers around how to get the most out of your training and racing through simple mental performance skills that you can put to practice this cross-country season.

We also dedicate a portion to talking about parents and their effects on an athletes athletic/life success. We dive into the courses Shannon has created to help this audience.

If you're not familiar with Shannon, she's the mental performance counselor who works closely with NAU, NAZ Elite, UA Dark Sky Distance, and a plethora of top professional runners. As an athlete and a coach, Shannon has always been fascinated by the psychology of well-being and achievement. Her interest regarding the power of the mind to impact an athlete's performance and overall experience drove Shannon to complete an undergraduate degree in psychology, and then a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.

Through listening to this podcast episode, you'll walk about with practical tools on improving mental performance that you can directly apply today.

0:00.0	Before we hop into today's episode of the podcast, I want to briefly tell you guys about a supplement that I've been taking for over a year.
0:09.1	The company's name is two before. I bet you've heard about it on the podcast before.
0:13.2	There are so many supplements and things out there, and I honestly don't believe in like 99% of them.
0:19.5	And so I was skeptical myself when I first heard about this product.
0:22.9	But the more I looked into it, the more I started to believe.
0:26.2	And then when I first tried it and consistently used it, I realized the power of black currents.
0:30.9	If you don't know about black currents, they're antioxidant berries grown in New Zealand.
0:35.0	And the studies I'm referencing have shown that consuming them
0:38.0	regularly improves endurance by increasing blood flow and removing lactic acid. There was one study
0:43.3	that showed using two before consistently can improve athletic performance by 4.6%. And studies are one
0:49.4	thing, but it's another when the best athletes in the world are using that product. And this product is
0:54.1	actually used by professional running team, Tinman Elite, as well as athletes in the world are using that product. And this product is actually used

1:10.4	looking for
1:11.2	a big fall season, whether that's cross country or a marathon, and I believe that this is a perfect
1:15.9	product for you. You guys can get 30% off of 2B4 with code. They're running effect 30. Not only does
1:22.3	this get you 30% off, but also free shipping. And as always, my DMs are always open if you have any questions.
1:28.2	But the fact that I've worked with this company for over a year now, hopefully shows you that
1:32.3	I believe in it. So without for their due, let's get into today's episode.
1:40.2	Shannon Thompson, welcome to the Running Effect podcast. Welcome back, like addition 15 at this point. Always a privilege and a pleasure to welcome you on,
