Performance, sport, and parenting expert Dr. Jim Taylor joins the show to share insights from his impressive career and his exciting new collaboration with Dominic.

Dr. Taylor, who holds his Ph.D. in Psychology, has been immersed in the world of performance and sport psychology for many years, in addition to child development, parenting, and personal growth.

His clientele includes professional, Olympic, collegiate and junior-elite athletes in skiing, cycling, triathlon, tennis, track and field, squash, fencing, swimming, football, golf, and many more. He is the author of 18 books (that have beentranslated into 10 languages) and can be seen at various speaking engagements throughout the world.

Dr. Taylor maintains a popular blog that has been read by more than 10 million people. Prior to his consulting and coaching he was a world-ranked alpine ski racer. He has run a sub 3-hour marathon, completed an Ironman, and is a two-time national and three-time world championship medal-winning age-group triathlete.

Dr. Taylor, who was instrumental in helping Dominic prepare for his latest marathon with only two weeks of training, founded the impressive Prime Performance System that he uses with clients, which focuses on the mental areas athletes can hone in on during training.

In today's conversation, Dr. Jim takes me through why the mental side of the sport matters, how smiling can completely transform your physical performance, simple mental tips and tricks that you can apply directly into your running/life TODAY, and so much more.

This conversation was absolutely excellent and you'd be a fool not to listen and gain free wisdom from one of the brightest minds in the Psychology world.

0:00.0	Hey guys, I'm so excited to tell you that today's podcast is brought to you by Goody's
0:04.0	pain relief powders. I'm partnering with Goodies this weekend and running the Knoxville
0:08.0	Marathon. This course is notorious for being hilly, so I know I'll be feeling the pain on Monday and
0:12.2	Tuesday, which is where goodies will come in handy to relieve muscle soreness after a long
0:16.3	run when I'm in pain. Never take before or during a run. Goody's pain powders dissolve quickly
0:21.9	and are formulated to start working fast. Goodies powders target a full range of body pains
0:26.5	and headaches, heading pain right where it hurts. They're on the go stick packs can be slipped
0:31.1	into your pocket for quick pain relief. I like to take my goodies powder in a glass with
0:35.4	water, but you can also take it by placing it on your tongue and chasing it with a glass of water.
0:40.3	Make sure to always read directions and use as directed.
0:43.3	Right now for a limited time, Goodies Powder's is offering $2 off, select products on Amazon when you use the code TRE2.
0:51.3	We will also throw it up on the screen. The link is also in the show notes below.

0:59.0	And recreational marathoners, their most common technique tool for dealing with discomfort was to distract themselves.
1:06.0	And these days, people put on headphones, that's what they do. That's one example.
1:10.0	But elite marathoners,
1:11.4	they don't dissociate, distract themselves. They associate. They focus on the pain and use
1:16.0	it as information. So the first tool is just focus. Every moment you're pushing yourself,
1:21.9	you have to focus. That was Dr. Jim Taylor today on the Running Effect podcast.
1:28.7	As I'm sure you guys know, I'm running the Knoxville Marathon this Sunday, and I definitely
1:33.4	need some mental help as the marathon in the sport of running is a very mental sport.
1:38.1	There's no better person to join the show and to help me out in this pursuit of knowledge
