I'm doing this course in Brockagh Resource in Center in Laragh next Saturday, 21st November 9.30 - 4.30, all details are on www.sueredmond.com/#!mindfulathlete/c1cwe, it's €120 to do it. I done a lot of work this year to improve my racing by using mindfulness to reduce the amount of energy I use up pre race through nerves and negative thoughts, it really helped so an athlete specific should be good to do. Some people might think this is all a bit zen buddha airy fairy stuff but your mind is a powerful thing an mine needed some help keeping calm(especially for the EWS). If you love your racing but get consumed by nerves this could be the thing for you!
Mindfulness and Sports Psychology for Athletic Performance Course
Hey admin, don't know how this ended up in the rider profile section, could you move it to general discussion, cheers
This sounds good Steve. I don't have e120 to attend but would be interested to know what they say. Maybe a brief few words when its over as to how it went?? This could be something the club could run as a ''guest speaker'' type thing for a few hours (not all day). What do people think???
Ya, same here, sounds great but don't have the €€€'s
Seems very expensive for a 6h seminar, you'd pay that money for a 2 day first aid course...
Ye, its not cheap and its a full day but with the way my nerves sap my energy and mess with my head it's well worth it for me. I'll write up a summary of how it went. I done a race preparation talk with Tarja Owens for the EWS, its more about warm up, diet, etc., would be good for the club to maybe get her to do a talk next year, she knows her stuff!
I'd be very interested in the race prep side of things. I like to do the mindfulness course but it Tara's turn to bike on Sat!
Sounds interesting Steve let us know how it goes! Sure this biking is all $$$$
Course was cancelled, got to go biking instead!
