Joining the podcast this week, all the way from Canada, is fellow Team RunRun coach and psychotherapist Brant Stachel.

Brant and I met when I started coaching with Team RunRun. He brings a powerful combination of skills, coaching a wide range of athletes from Olympians to 6+ hour marathoners. He is also a strength and conditioning coach, massage therapist, and psychotherapist specialising in sports performance and eating disorders. We cover all that and more during our conversation.

What we talked about:

• His early running days and involvement in coaching
• The impact of coaching on individuals, especially mindset coaching
• How high performance varies from person to person and how to bring it out through coaching
• Understanding your "why," the narratives that drive you, and a bit about the IGNITE framework
• Training mental skills and building your toolbox
• A little on eating disorders

Key Takeaways:

• Understand your "why" – it drives your motivation and is at the root of everything you do
• How to create situations that train your mindset for big events
• Exploring your race alter ego – it might be the key to pushing you further
•
