About this episode
Ásdís shares insights on mental training techniques applicable to both elite and recreational athletes.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I use mental training now when I compete for fun compared to when I was an elite athlete and the simple tools that actually work no matter your level. You’ll hear what has stayed the same, what I’ve simplified, and what I’ve left behind. I talked about why adapting your mental training to your needs and season of life matters. You'll see how it can work for you, whether you’re chasing championships or just fitting sport into a busy life. Tune in to discover the mental skills I’ve kept, adapted, and simplified, the universal truths that never change, and how you can use them to perform at your best. Register for my LIVE Masterclass!
