Sport Psychology

We discuss the underlying principles of an athlete’s psychological welfare, and why our thoughts and feelings are simply emergent properties of brain and nervous system physiology.

We address questions on how to train grit for race situations, if you can safely override the central governor, and training for a five-day stage race.

Physical therapist, Ron Kochevar, deconstructs his belief systems around your individual capabilities such as pain and being in the right mental space to help your body heal.

What is confidence? What is resiliency? What is pressure, and how can we better handle it? These are some of the questions we tackle in today’s episode.
