Cycle of Performance – When is the right time to improve, to perform, or to recover? By taking a deep look at the typical yearly cycle most athletes traditionally follow, we uncover the hidden mental and emotional minefield athletes unknowingly put themselves through every year: The pre-season The start of season The mid- to back-end of season End of season, and The (much-awaited) post-season So in this episode, we unpack what is often ‘willingly’ done to self-sabotage the season and kill the momentum – all in the name of preparation, results and balance. Despite all this doom and gloom we will also (of course) outline what we can and should be doing to both optimise and build momentum as well as create a sustainable – and realistic – growth mindset over a full season, and even into our off-season. So be prepared to have a mind (and behaviour) altering peek inside the brain of an optimised, elite athlete. Still, feel like you need more?
