The Mental Game for Athletes

In the last couple of years, it’s become increasingly apparent that mental health is as vital to performance as physical health is. This means not just doing some visualizations for race day but taking care of your mental wellbeing daily with proven strategies and habits.

We’ve seen strong athletes like gymnast Simone Biles choosing her mental wellness over competing in the Olympics. It takes a brave athlete not only to understand that they’re struggling, but to also do something about it. And whether you’re a high-level athlete or a recreational one, it’s essential to tune in to how you’re talking to yourself, where your thoughts tend to wander, and how you’re making time and space for your emotions, not just your on-bike training.
