Listen "How Respecting Your Body, Emotions, and Competition Improves Performance"
Episode Synopsis
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTStarting Saturday, July 26, CTS will publish daily Tour de France Femmes podcasts with Coaches Adam Pulford and Renee Eastman. They'll recap the stage, but the unique aspect of these podcasts will be coaching insights about how athletes prepare for the demands showcased in that day's stage. EPISODE OVERVIEWRespect is a touchy subject, but this is not a touchy-feely, woo-woo episode of the podcast. In true "Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast" fashion, Coach Adam Pulford gives actionable, pragmatic advice on how athletes can change their physical, emotional, and competitive habits to act with greater respect and, in turn, unlock greater performance. When you respect your body, you give it what it needs and pay attention to good and bad days. When you respect your emotions, you gain insights that help you adjust training to align important workouts and performance tests with productive emotional states. And when you respect the competition, you can always feel good about the outcome, win or lose.RESOURCESPlacebo Effect:The power of the placebo effect - Harvard HealthSelf Talk:The Dangers of Negative Thinking and How to Master Positive Self-TalkSelf-talk During Sport - Advantage or Detriment - BelievePerform - The UK's leading Sports Psychology WebsiteGolden Rule:The Golden Rule | Internet Encyclopedia of PhilosophyASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.
