Today’s elite athletes spend time working with sports psychologists to prepare themselves for competition, developing mental strategies that enable them to cope with different situations. In the heat of intensive competition retaining mental composure can make all the difference between winning and losing. While some athletes prefer to psyche themselves up before a race, others prefer to remain calm and introverted. It is therefore vital that you find a mental strategy that creates the best possible environment to suit your specific needs, prior to the start.
