  • Is it common for athletes to incorporate mental skills training into their preparations?
  • Do you have any tips for helping folks get through a tough workout, or even just a really tough part of a ride?
  • Is positive visualization an important part of developing a winning mindset?
  • What are some things that make it tough to stay motivated?
  • Are there any shortcuts to developing confidence? How do we get it back after a crash?
  • Is happiness connected to athletic performance?
  • Do you get nervous before a race or competition? How do you calm your nerves?
