The Mental Training Tips & Advice Triathletes Need (Replay)

This week we're replaying an episode with Feisty's resident sports psychologist Dr. Erin Ayala, who joins the pod to answer all of our questions about mental performance, mental training, and tips for dealing with the mental stress of the world right now.

First, the team tackles the latest news and the question: How do we keep the booming 20- to 29-year-old age group in the sport?

Then:

What mental skills you can practice on the treadmill or trainer
Why a race isn't a test — and staying curious will actually help you perform better
Ditching the comparison game
And is the correlation between mental health issues and endurance sports a coincidence?

Dr. Ayala is also the host of the re-launched Feisty Women's Performance podcast, where she talks to experts each week on health and performance questions about women and for women.
