Sport Psychology Toolbox -14

As humans and performers we always tell ourselves stories...
It's more than just negative self-talk..
We convince ourselves that we can't, shouldn't, won't ever be able to or have failed... and construct a story (reasons) around it..

How can we make sure that these little stories don't become stories that define us?

- Self-awareness: Really listen to yourself

- Taking a minute, slow down, stop and think

- Is what I'm telling myself really true. Fact or fiction?

- Can you find reasons and explanations that counter a negative story you're constructing?

Do you experience this yourself?

And what a race it was for him. After PBing in the spring he got another 6min PB at the Dorney Lake half marathon.

Three weeks out from his next marathon where we're aiming for another PB 🀞🀞.

We geared this summer's training to hopefully achieving some PBs in the autumn and race 1 βœ…οΈ.

Congrats on a well deserved success. Lots of hard work has been done behind the scenes.

It's taper time now!

Analysis - Reflection - Feedback

Effective and powerful reflection is a skill you develop with practice

These days a lot of my coaching clients will analyse their races and training sessions. It has been made so much easier with all the modern gadgets that measure pace, HR, HRV etc.

But numbers are exactly that, just numbers, often without context. And the less context that is used the more self critical some athletes are.

After the analysis comes the reflection piece...well really they should happen together... What does the result or performance mean in the bigger context compared to a year ago, the last race etc. What does it mean in terms of where in the season you are and in relation to other competitions (i.e peaking towards an A race) and in context to circumstances surrounding the race (sleep, travel, nutrition, recovery, weather etc)
Reflections should include emphasising positive/strong points AND looking for ways that you might be able to improve.

Good practice is to write all of this down, because you won't remember all of it after a while and it can give you a much better overall picture of what works and what doesn't at the end of a season.

Part of the puzzle is also whose feedback you take into account and how that feedback has been delivered. A good coach IMO will always do a much better job than your fancy gadget or AI generated training app. Be open to feedback especially if it's balanced and constructive and adds to your own reflective practice.

I'm not sure if I can do this last weekend proper justice with my post, but I will try 😌

Firstly, thanks are due to of for inviting me to be one of the facilitators at the very first retreat she organized.

Carrie, you have indeed created a wonderful community ❀️ 😊.

What made the weekend so special? Everyone who attended - mostly we were all strangers to start with - now new friendships have been forged.

The stunning surroundings in the Bedfordshire countryside and our very luxurious tents .. even a non-camper like me was super happy. πŸ˜…

There's something about spending all day outdoors and getting and getting up on Sunday morning to beautiful early morning sunshine felt like heaven.

Restorative activities and practices and the freedom to be able to participate or not depending on what was needed in the moment.

Good food, good chat, and good people 😘

It was exactly what my slightly frazzled nervous system needed after a challenging week. I am taking all the positive energy into this new week πŸ™

Thanks to everyone who made it so special. I'm sorry if you aren't all tagged

As a coach and performance consultant I have lent my support to many athletes navigating their way through a variety of different transition periods in their sport

- Injuries
- Planned and unplanned retirement from (competitive) sports
- Aging related reduction in performance
- Effects of career or other life changes on training/sports
- Transitions from senior athlete to vet/masters athletes and through different age groups
- Transitions from being competitive to finding a way to enjoy training/sport without clear goals and competitions

This Open University course "Transitions Through Sport" has strengthened my knowledge & will support my coaching abilities.

The Sport Psychology Toolbox-10

Handling transitions (no, not the triathlon ones)

Transitions in Sport happen all the time and not just for elite/pro athletes.

Most commonly we think of transitions in an athlete's life when pro athletes transition out of sports into civilian life but it can take on many forms such as a senior/vet non elite athlete deciding not to continue competing, but also retirement due to injury or a temporary disruption due to injury. The circumstances can be different the effects can be similar.

Other transitions that athletes might navigate are a change in team or in coaches, moving to a higher level team or being demoted to a lower league team, moving away or moving to university and balancing sports with moving into a career.

Some of these are easier to navigate than others.

Especially injury and retirement can have a big impact and can lead to feelings of loss, low mood etc. Often athlete aren't well prepared for those.
Individuals who have a strong/high athlete identity (unidimensional) may struggle more.

One of the ways we can support athletes is to let them develop a more multidimensional identity that includes social, family, culture and career aspects whilst they are still participating in their sport.
The better prepared the easier, a transition can be.

I have coached a number of clients through various transition periods, I.e injury, ageing and changes in age groups, decisions to retire from competing etc.
Change is always challenging but can be made easier with the right support around you.

Coaching individuals through various periods in life and career can of course happen outside of sports as well.

How have you managed to handle transition periods in life/sports?
