Mayito Minutes

Sweetwater, TX. 71 miles. 3500 ft of climbing. This race saw me have to make a couple of pivotal tactical decisions

What happens when one person is hurling insults and berating another person but the victim is choosing to stay silent and not engage with the abuse? 

Sport psychology, and really all psychology in general, used to have a pretty harsh approach when it came to overcoming certain emotions. It has changed and we are in a much better place now.

One of the biggest points of tension for an athlete is what we should do as we get older or come off an injury or have to endure periods of reduced training.

Trust me...this is not my normal race recap.

Do you consider yourself a Powerful individual?

There's all kinds of content we can interact with on social media. What kind of content are you getting fed to you? What does this content say about you?

If we are involved in meditating or some form of mindfulness training we should go beyond the time we spend in this habit.

I've heard it so often where an athlete says that if all they had to worry about was riding their bikes all day because that's what they got paid to do that they could be professional too.

We often here about elite athletes overdoing it in terms of their training. If they are being looked over by professional coached and trainers how does this happen and why are they doing it?

If your competitions are getting easier then you're doing something wrong.

Patience.

Why does the winner of one of the biggest bike races in the world say he is rarely nervous or anxious before his competitions? He understands simple math.

We do not rise to the level of our expectations but rather fall to the level of our training. -Archilochus. I agree with some but not all of this quote. Listen to why.

We spend so much time training to become something only to stray from what we've become when it is time to compete. Let's stop doing that...

Look. Listen. Observe.

Being able to guage your level of satisfaction with your performance in training and competition is critical. Doing so properly will allow you to be consistent and perform at a higher level.

Our pursuit of our passion does much more than we think. If we aren't mindful we could sacrifice becoming a better version of ourselves in regards to that passion while forsaking the bigger picture of who we are as people.

It's been a year since I did one of these for a real race! Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as i did experiencing it.

Should you have expectations going into a performance? Yes! But there's a way to not make those expectations debilitating if you don't reach them.

You know why it's hard to be happy- because we refuse to let go of the things that make us sad. -Luphytha Hermin
