Athletes around the world are always searching for ways to improve - fast, and Get Instant Accessver their opponents...
Do pressure, nerves, intimidation, doubt, fear, or negative thoughts affect your track and field?
Or just looking to massively improve performance?
Mental training not only strengthens performance but also overcomes barriers which may have been holding you back. I know because I have worked with them for over three decades.
When two or more athletes of equal physical strength and ability compete against each other, it's always decided by who is the toughest mentally.
This is why mental training gives you the edge over most of your competitors - who only train physically. And as you can see, these methods are used at the very highest levels...
As a mental trainer, for the past few decades I worked with a vast number of athletes, teams and coaches from various track and field events around the world.
This included runners (sprint, middle and long distance), jump events such as high jump and triple jump, and throwing events such as javelin, discuss and shot put.

To do this, I created various types of customized 'visualization' recordings which guided them mental rehearsals of their performances, while in the optimum mental state.
Without exception (and often to their complete amazement), their performances improved dramatically after they used these recordings.
Mental training methods have been proven around the globe to take athletes to their absolute peak performance levels, and it is one of the biggest changes to sport around the world this century.
This is because your
subconscious
Your subconscious is the powerhouse of peak performance, controlling all bodily movement, storing your training experience and muscle memory, and guiding your body with effortless efficiency and precision. Estimated to be 275,000 times more powerful than the conscious mind [University of Pennsylvania]
mind is the control center of your body's movement - and your track and field performances.
Your subconscious co-ordinates all your bodily movement, reactions, reflexes, muscle memory, as well as the functioning of all your vital organs.
It's an awesomely powerful computer, waiting for your instructions. But beware - if you don't program it (for success), it can just as easily deliver self-sabotage - again and again.
This world-renowned technique is where you relax your mind and vividly imagine performing at the absolute pinnacle of your ability on the day.
When used correctly at regular daily intervals, this process massively influences track and field performances, from the inside out.
Once you become accomplished at visualizing (and I provide a wide range of different types of imagery you can work through, further below), this adds a whole new dimension to your performances.
Mind mastery is no different to mastering physical skills - you have to work out at the inner gym.
Developing unbreakable belief, focus under pressure, the ability to pre-program performance in advance.. the rewards are endless.
And today, I'll show you some powerful techniques which you can do from home. I will outline both traditional methods, as well as the latest fast-track techniques used by elite competitors, for accessing peak performance and overcoming barriers.

Champions Do Things Differently..
"I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability."
Usain Bolt
"Embrace the art of visualization and paint a vivid picture of your success."
Carl Lewis
"Often I visualize a quicker, like almost a ghost runner, ahead of me with a quicker stride. It's really crazy. In races, this always happens to me. I see the vision of a runner ahead of me, maybe just 15, 20 meters ahead of me, and the cadence of that runner, which is actually me in the future, is a little quicker, so if I am going (his rhythm/breathing), then my ghost runner, the vision of me, ahead of me, like opening up and just going for it, is quicker".
Gabe Jennings
One of the most powerful ways of programming the mind is using visualization - often called imagery or mental rehearsal.
Your mind is constantly programming your performances - in fact, your mental "wiring" has been delivering the results you have been achieving right up to this point.
By simply tweaking the mental "inner software" that controls your body's results, improvement occurs powerfully, automatically and effortlessly, every single time.
It is well known that mental conditioning also helps competitors access the Zone The Zone is the peak performance state where your body runs directly from the subconscious. Movements flow naturally, distractions fade, and effort feels effortless as you perform at your absolute best. - the awesomely powerful mental state renowned around the world to deliver the absolute peak performance in any sport - the realm of the subconscious.
The subconscious is the master computer - containing all of your track and field knowledge and experience - and it always knows exactly what you need to do to succeed.
So simply by fine-tuning the mind for success can make quantum leaps in your performance level.

Implementing & Mastering These Techniques at Home

|---|
For generations, athletes have relied on powerful techniques like visualization to gain a competitive edge. Now, with advancements in modern technology, these techniques have become even more sophisticated
I will outline some examples for you shortly, which you can practice at home (as effective do-it-yourself programs are what most people are asking for).
I have outlined the various options below to cater to different levels, so you can choose the best path you'd like to explore..
Training Options - For Different Standards, Levels & Skill Sets
Depending upon your level of experience and expertise, there are two distinct approaches to mental preparation - as below:

These methods offer gradual but powerful shifts in mindset, clarity, and confidence.

I will provide examples of these you can work through below, but for those who want fast results right away, skip to the advanced options below.

1. Embedding Positive Core Beliefs
This exercise, called a contemplation, embeds powerful new core beliefs within your subconscious, as these enormously influence performance.
Your beliefs - weak or strong - ultimately determine your results - and how far your potential can develop. They are the dominating force - more powerful than motivation, talent, ability, fitness, power, etc.
These are your 5 Core Beliefs list to instill, below. Focus on each point in the list for 30 seconds daily, thinking of positive thoughts related to the topic and reasons why it's true for you.
Do this until the reasons are true for you.
1. I trust in my ability and drive to continually improve and achieve new personal records.
2. I aim for excellence in technique, form, and performance in every practice and event.
3. I am developing resilience and mental strength to overcome all challenges during training and competition.
4. I focus on the process of training and incremental progress, rather than purely on outcomes.
5. I am versatile and adapt easily to learning new techniques and strategies, and effectively applying them in various scenarios.

2. Visualization Exercises
Needless to say, the initial and primary visualization should be of yourself competing at your absolute peak of your performance - with as much, or as little, detail as you wish - while imagining experiencing great confidence and inner power while you are performing.
Do this each day, while in a relaxed state (directly before or after sleep are excellent times), and ensuring you use all your senses - ie. ensure the images are vivid, realistic, present-tense, positive, and without any external distractions.
While the results wont be as quick as using the audio recordings, slowly but surely this will bring about improvements, so be patient. As you progress in your development, consider integrating the following aspects to enhance your mind's capacity to visualize flawless performance.
As there are literally hundreds of different ways you can use imagery for various different purposes, I have included some options you can experiment with later on.
But for now, keep to the basics, and make sure you practice regularly.
*
Mental Imagery Examples.....
- Achieving success - crossing the finish line first or clearing the high jump bar with ease, and achieving your goals.
- Overcoming obstacles - overcoming any hurdles or challenges that may arise during the competition and pushing through the pain and persevering.
- Your technique - performing your event with perfect form and technique, each step and movement in your mind.
- In different scenarios - competing in different weather conditions or on different types of terrain, and adapting and performing well in any situation.
- Yourself calm under pressure - remaining calm and composed even when the pressure is on, performing well under stressful situations.
3. Affirmations for Performance
You can also manually recite a mantra over and over again silently in your mind, which is a manual auditory method which can be targeted towards specific uses - plus work great to drown out nagging negative thoughts during performance.
Note: Ensure you use a great deal more repetition to create the necessary reinforcement, seeing these will be recited at the conscious, rather than subconscious, level. A manual way to get around this can be reciting mantras in the shower, which relaxes the mind and body.
Some examples below.. ensure the statements are positive, present-tense, and with no hidden or reverse negatives.
"I am a fierce competitor" - Believe in your abilities and see yourself as a fierce competitor in the sport.
"I am focused on my goals" - Keep your mind focused on your goals and achieving them.
"I am strong and resilient" - Believe in your strength and resilience, and see yourself overcoming obstacles with ease.
"I am a skilled athlete" - Acknowledge your skills and talents as an athlete, and see yourself performing at your best.
"I am confident in my abilities" - Believe in your abilities and see yourself performing confidently and with ease.
