    Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports - Coping Visualization

    Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports and How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 5 - Coping Visualization In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In episode 5, Coach Tim delves into Coping Visualization. As we mentally prepare for race day, we so often visualize the perfect day. Perfect weather. Perfect execution. But in the world of endurance sports, a race is seldom perfect. A real race day includes uncontrollables, and how we respond (and not react) to them will be what makes or breaks the day. In this episode Coach Tim describes coping visualization and discusses how a coach can help the athlete practice various scenarios, and teach the mind how to respond on race day, even to something not practiced.

    QT2 Systems - Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports - Episode 4 - True Goal Setting

    Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports and How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 4 - True Goal Setting In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In episode 4, Coach Tim explains the differences between goals, targets and outcomes. Goals are things over which you have near total control - e.g., your hydration intake. Targets are things over which you have some level of control, but not total control - e.g., race pace, power, heart rate. Outcomes things over which you have very little control, and often have to do with the performance of other people - e.g., whether you stand on the podium. A coach can help the athlete by remaining objective, and assisting the athlete to define his/her goals and develop strategies for how to accomplish those goals.

    QT2 Systems - Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports - Episode 3 - Recognizing Your Controllables & Uncontrollables

    Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports and How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 3 - Recognizing Your Controllables & Uncontrollables In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In sports, as in life, there are always things that you cannot control. The list is seemingly endless. But, what you can control is how you respond, If it's hot and humid on race day, how will you respond? If you get a flat tire on the bike, how will you respond? If you get hit on the head in the swim, how will you respond? In this episode, Coach Tim walks you through how to identify what you can control and what you can't control. He then discusses strategies on how to subjectively respond to the uncontrollable conditions and also the importance of objectively evaluating performance based on those uncontrollable conditions.

    Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports - Setting & Managing Appropriate Expectations

    Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports and How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 2 - Setting & Managing Appropriate Expectations. In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In Episode 2, Coach Tim takes a deep dive into the first strategy for altering mindset - setting & managing appropriate expectations. This strategy is written to the athlete who anytime they lace up expects a PR and/or the athlete who loses sight on where they are in a training process. Training plans are written to target a specific race at a specific time. If an athlete wants to race earlier in the training cycle, the athlete will not be at 100%. Should they still race? Yes, if, but only if, expectations match their training status. Learn more about QT2 Systems at www.qt2systems.com
