🎙 Episode 9 – James Corbett: Mastering the Mental Game of Triathlon

In this episode, I sit down with elite New Zealand triathlete James Corbett for a deep dive into the mental side of the sport we both live and breathe. From training mindset to racing headspace, we explore what it takes to show up not just physically—but mentally—in a sport that demands everything.

James shares his personal evolution as an athlete, how he builds resilience in tough moments, and the mindset shifts that have helped him race smarter and train with greater intention. We unpack pre-race nerves, dealing with setbacks, and how to find flow when the pressure is high.

Topics we cover:

• The mental headspace needed for peak performance
• James’ strategies for staying composed on race day
• What to do when the race doesn’t go to plan
• The link between confidence, preparation, and execution
• Letting go of results to focus on process
• Why mental fitness is just as trainable as physical fitness

Whether you’re racing your first 70.3 or gunning for a Kona slot, this episode will leave you with practical tools to approach your next race with more focus, calm, and grit.
