Listen Later

In this episode, Kevin dives into everyone’s favorite topic… 2k testing! The importance of 2k’s, why athletes set themselves up for failure, the strategy for 2k success, and more! This episode provides a great breakdown of why we put so much importance into that one elusive number, and how to best position ourselves for success!

Key Takeaways:

  • 2k & Performance Anxiety - Why some athletes, more often than not, set themselves up for failure before they’ve even started the test. 

  • 2k Psychology - The importance of the right mental approach, and how the first phase is “climbing the mountain” of *training* before the real test begins. 

  • Strategy for Success - Best positioning yourself for a “great” day, while minimizing the risk of a “bad” day.
