TRIATHLETE EQ
All endurance sports are as much a test of your emotional endurance ability as they are a test of your physical ability. Though most are aware of this, few actually know how to train for, and apply, emotional endurance skills during a race. This very cutting-edge book brings together the experience of 5-Time Ironman Champion, Heather Gollnick, and sports neuropsychologist, Dr. Izzy Justice, to provide you with both invaluable knowledge and EQ exercises to incorporate into your training, pre-race, and race-day plans to give yourself a chance to perform at your best when it counts the most.
This book provides a unique, detailed, and much needed look at the emotional and mental aspects of training for triathlons. It clearly explains the underlying theory as well as offering easy to follow, practical advice and techniques that any athlete can use – from elite level to novice – to strengthen and use the mind to achieve more than they ever thought possible.
