Already earlier in the year we talked with pro triathlete Ronnie Schildknecht about this topic. Rachel Joyce – pro triathlete as well – chose the same topic. This underscores in fact how crucial the mental is for elite athletes.
You will hear Rachel saying in this podcast that peak performance without a brain on high alert is unthinkable, that age is teaching you that it is the mind in the end that decides about winning or losing, that you need a wakeful mind if you want to retrieve your very best, and this does not only apply to sports.
We all have to recognize that the mental and the physical are inseparable forming a wholeness. There is not much to add to this subject from my side. Best, just listen to Rachel.
