This episode is for every active person who understands that the mental side of training is not a one-and-done conversation. Along with host Sarah Bowen Shea, Coach Liz pulls three books off the shelf, plus one new one, to discuss how pre-race fear affects athletes of every pace; how expectation dictates performance; how excellence is about incremental growth and commitment over time, not perfection; and more. A must-listen episode regardless of if you have a race on your calendar or not. The books discussed:
Winning the Mental Game: Dr. Amber Selking
Built to Finish: Theresa Seitz
Inner Excellence: Jim Murphy
Elite Minds: Dr. Stan Beecham
