Welcome to the Win Cycle Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Jeff Troeltsch discuss mental performance in endurance sports, focusing on perfectionism and race anxiety.

He highlights the need to manage cognitive distortions and the impact of data on athletes' mindsets. Troeltsch also stresses the significance of breathing techniques and maintaining a balanced perspective on performance.
