Beliefs of Triathlon Success
“The Mind Controls the Body and the Mind is Unlimited”
Belief #1 – I Have NO Limits
“I feel great today and there is nothing I can’t do and no-one I can’t beat, today. What is to stop me? Everybody look out!”
You must know that there is absolutely nothing to stop you putting in a great performance. Think of yourself as unlimited, unstoppable, unbeatable, supreme and all-powerful.
Belief #2 – These Conditions are Perfect for Me!
“These conditions are perfect for me today! There’s water for me to swim in, road for me to bike on, heaps of competitors…(etc.) and it’s a great day for me to win!”
It doesn’t matter what the conditions are – this must be your attitude regardless. Every day must be a perfect day to compete from now on. Don’t let conditions get in the way of a great performance.
Belief #3 – I’ve Done the Work and I Believe in my Ability
“I deserve to win this race – I’ve done the work, put in the hours and somebody has to win it, so why not me? I know I am going to give this race a real shake, because I am good enough to beat any of these people.”
Know that you can achieve your goal. Why shouldn’t you?
Belief #4 – Nothing Can Affect Me
“I’m a machine! Nothing can bother me or stop me today! Not the competitors, not the conditions, not anyone else’s opinions, nothing! I am completely in control of my own thoughts. I am untouchable.”
Never let anybody’s comments or attitude get in your way. Stay with your own positive thoughts and surround yourself with positive people.
Belief #5 – You Have Me to Worry About!
“These guys must be worried about me in this race. I am going to be very tough to beat today!”
Don’t waste your time worrying about your competitors. Let them worry about you instead. Allow your mind to focus only on positive things, leave it to your competitors to wallow in their doubts and fears.
