During this next week of training, choose a word or phrase that is specific to something that challenges you as an athlete. Choose something like "I am strong and relaxed" or "flow." Pick a word that is specific to an issue you struggle with, or a perception that you wish to change in yourself. Use this in your daily training when you find yourself going to a negative place in your mind. The more you practice this in your mind the easier it will be to access when you race. Post this phrase at work, at home on the bathroom mirror, the refrigerator--someplace where you'll see it and read it regularly. Let the phrase or word become who you are and bring this into your training.
