A masterclass in sports psych by Ed Eyestone at NCAA XC.
He had a wristband with what each athlete wanted/needed to hear mid-race.
Be intentional on the mental side.
You can boost performance & shift athletes goals/focus mid-race by saying the right thing!
The scoreboard should never influence your character.
βYou lost the game. Doesn't mean you just get to leave. You shake hands. It's what you do. That's sportsmanship,β You lose, you go out there, and it's not fun, but that's part of life,β Kenny Dillingham
