Charles Bukowski said, “What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.” And he’s right. Today we combine that thought process with how Kobe Bryant built mental toughness by negotiating his own thought process. Racing and training presents hundreds of opportunities to “figure it out” and those are the golden nuggets of becoming a better triathlete. Today, we look at self talk and creating tough situations in training so you know how to handle them in racing. We look into the power of being alone in your head and becoming mentally strong. Get through nagging niggles. We talk about trainers vs. gamers and what sets them apart. Can you callus your mind in such a way that it makes you race better? Layer in opportunities to quit, but don’t do it. How do you get through the tough training moments and beat that inner voice that’s telling you to quit, or worse, not start.
