With a long background in communications she first started learning about performance psychology after competing in Ironman Melbourne in 2013. It was a really windy day with huge waves. For someone used to swimming in a 20 metre London gym pool this was way out of her comfort zone. She heard the commentator mention the waves. He said “you can't control the conditions. What you can control is the way you choose to react to them.” A light bulb moment. She realized it was her choice if she was scared or not and had to choose not to be. It became the fastest Ironman she's raced and set off a full career change, from a conversion course to learn all the basics of Psychology to the MSc in Sports and Exercise Psychology. https://performanceinmind.co.uk/about/

She is passionate about how it can be used positively to improve performance; whether as a professional athlete, working in business or as an amateur, competing in a sport you love.Alongside the MSc she also spent some time working at UK Sport to learn how elite sport is run in the UK.

This time around Fitspeek heads back into the basement and catches up with the guy who shocked the triathlon world by; placing third in the world at the 70.3 World Championships in 2011, winning Ironman Melbourne in 2015, and finishing the 2013 Challenge Penticton after a bike crash going down Yellow Lake (yeah) he also … Continue reading "Triathletes in Basements Riding Trainers: Fitspeek 101 with Jeff Symonds & Zack Neufeld"

Stacey De Bono grew up in country Victoria and, by her own admission, hated riding bikes as a kid and used to wag the school cross country carnival. Fast forward a few years and she discovered triathlon quite by accident. A friend convinced her to sign up for a race. She did, but without checking the details and couldn’t work out why the race was so expensive. It turns out the first triathlon she signed up for was Ironman Melbourne, just 10 months later. A few years (and several triathlon seasons) later, a broken finger from a bike accident forced Stacey to step back from her training and work. This gave her time to reflect on her lifestyle, her health and her goals - and it was during this difficult period she heard about Epic 5, an iconic race consisting of 5 Ironman-distance triathlons over 5 days on 5 different Hawaiian islands. The seed was planted, Stacey eventually voiced the idea out loud to her coach and the goal was set to participate in Epic 5 in 2020, some 3 years later. That race date has been pushed back to 2021, meaning she will have been working towards this race for 4 years by the time she stands on the start line. What is unique about Stacey’s approach to Epic 5 is that she has decided not read or listen to anything about Epic 5 for the next 2 years until her race in 2020 (which is the complete opposite to what most of us do!).

Josie is a chartered psychologist working with those in sport and on the stage to help them overcome their barriers to success so they can achieve their goals. Josie has a background in communications and behaviour change having worked for many years in journalism, marketing, public relations and crisis communications across private corporations and government. With a long background in communications Josie first started learning about performance psychology after competing in Ironman Melbourne in 2013. In what turned out to be a lightbulb moment at the start of the race, Josie experienced the power of the mind in sport, and it subsequently became the fastest Ironman she’s raced. Josie since went on to set up Performance in Mind, a sports and performance psychology consultancy, teaching the skills needed to excel when you perform in sport or in front of the media.

Josephine first started learning about performance psychology after competing in Ironman Melbourne in 2013. It was a really windy day with huge waves. Having only trained in a 20 m London pool, it was a shock. But the commentators words stayed with her and now influence how she works with her clients.  He said:  “you can’t control the conditions. What you can control is the way you choose to react to them.” So can you change your performance simply be choosing how you decide to think about it? This and more we discuss in this week's podcast.  For more details of her work visit her website Performance in Mind

Starting your own coaching business is always a risk. This is especially true when you already have a successful career that you can depend on, even when your true passion might not lie there.Richard Thompson, while waiting for the Australian Supreme Court to rule on a case he was working on, found himself checking the latest results from IRONMAN Melbourne. That's when he knew that helping other athletes achieve their goals was the life he wanted to live.Since then, Thompson has helped build the successful T-Zero Multisport and is now giving back to the coaching community that has given him so much. After speaking to fellow coaches at TrainingPeaks University Melbourne, Thompson sat down with Dave Schell to discuss how he found his "why", how T-Zero approaches hiring new coaches, and how viewing coaching as an "infinite game" has helped him see past short-term wins and ultimately benefit his athletes.

Today Pete and I catch up and discuss my Ironman comeback. My last Ironman race was back in Kona in 2009. I attempted Ironman Melbourne in 2013 and I believe that was the day when I switched my celiac gene on and maybe my prior pre race dinner of pizza and beer pushed me over the edge. That day my stomach and diaphragm shut down before exiting the shortened swim (due to adverse conditions) and my day was done 90km into the bike. That led to a roller coaster of a year that ended up with adrenal dysfunction. Ironman Canada wasn't without it's challenges and race day mishaps but I'm happy to be back racing, health and resilient. Looking forward to more racing.   In today’s episode, we discuss: The 3 F’s
 Conquering Fears 
Nutritional mistakes in racing
 Racing with ego
 The “what if” attitude 
Pulling apart the race
 Dealing with pre-race stressors 
How to respond to stress 
Patience in racing
 When things go wrong Controlling the controllables
 Wanting to be better each time 
Sustaining the hurt 
Pacing before racing Show Links https://www.facebook.com/TriSpecific http://www.instagram.com/trispecific http://www.twitter.com/trispecific Show Sponsor: Revbox Hands down the most potent indoor cycling trainer you can invest in.

Welcome to Episode 8. This week I sat down (via Skype) with a guy that has an amazing story from overweight, binge drinker and lacking any sort of motivation to an Ironman Finisher inspiring others to achieve whatever dream they have. Anything is possible. I first met Andrew when he drove down to the Gold Coast to meet for a coffee and have a chat about his aspirations to do Ironman Melbourne this year. We dive deep into his race and the amazing outcome he had and his experience in Melbourne is a direct reflection of the guy he his. Goal driven, motivated and I'm sure he wouldn't mind me saying this.......a little bit mad!! He overcame what many would not even consider being in hospital literally 5 hours before his race was due to commence. Andrew's story is one that many people including myself can relate to and his hope is that one person will have a listen and decide to make a change in their lives for the better! If you want to contact Andrew he is more than happy to help anyone looking for a hand so contact him on Instagram @andrew_hancox or by email at soxy1972@gmail.com Please feel free to share the Episode with anyone at all you think may benefit from having a listen and please send through any comments or feedback to greg@zeal2u.com.au Until next week Keep moving Keep going forward and Keep kicking goals
