Book Reviews of The Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series)
Book Review: Mental training
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent. The book is easy reading and has easy to apply mental techniques to improve racing and training. Swimming in open water is my "weakest link". This book offers many mental training techniques that should be helpful.
Summary of The Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series)
Triathlon is certainly physically demanding, to say the least, but most triathletes would agree that it is the mental aspect that can determine whether or not they achieve their competitive goals. Resources addressing this key aspect have been hard to come by - until now. In The Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training, the authors - both accomplished sport psychologists and Ironman triathletes - offer readers in-depth, practical information and skills they can use to build mental muscle. Readers learn first how to assess their psychological strengths and weaknesses, and then discover the six mental factors that most affect triathlon performance. The book includes essential tools for training and competition, such as routines, mental imagery, and tips on getting organized and setting goals, and also explores what it takes to be an Ironman, the unhealthy side of triathlon, and valuable lessons to be learned from the world's best triathletes."We all agree the best performance are made up of as much mental strength as physical, but how many of us really work to build our mental muscle? Not nearly enough, say Ironman triathlete and sports psychologist Jim Taylor and co-author triathlete Terri Schneider. Taylor and Schneider tackle the mental factors that most influence triathlon performance (or any sport, for that matter): motivation, confidence, intensity, focus, emotions and pain. No "just-think-happy-thoughts" pop-psych pablum here; Mental Training shells out solid techniques for getting your mind to work in tandem with your body, instead of throwing up obstacles."-HerSports magazine
