Mental Preparation Strategies for Race Day

[CycleStrategist]

Race day is as much mental as it is physical. Help athletes prepare their minds.
Strategies:

• Develop a race day routine (pre-race, during, post-race).
• Visualize success, including overcoming obstacles.
• Practice positive self-talk and affirmations.
• Develop a mantra or cue words.
• Focus on controllables, release uncontrollables.
• Embrace the challenge and enjoy the process.
