Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training by Jim Taylor
Triathletes spend hours every week preparing themselves physically and technically. When asked which is more important to their race success, they routinely say their minds play the biggest role. Despite this, little time is devoted to the mental side of the sport. For the first time, The Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training shows triathletes what mental areas influence their training and race efforts. The book also offers simple and practical information and skills triathletes can use to maximize their performances and the enjoyment they gain from triathlon.Renowned adventure racer, triathlete, and ultrarunner TERRI SCHNEIDER is highly acclaimed as a top female multi-sport endurance athlete and as an inspirational and sought after speaker, author, and coach. She has raced in over 30 countries as a world-class professional triathlete for twelve years and an elite international adventure racer since the sport's inception in the U.S. in 1995. Terri has shared her personal experiences, research, and expertise through her work as a coach and as the invited speaker at a long list of events, as well as with national and international audiences on the Discovery Channel, USA Network, high-profile talk shows, news segments, and in popular fitness and outdoor publications.
