Unlocking Peak Performance: Integrating Mental and Physical Training

Description

Join your other local runners and club members for an informational and social evening at the South Downs Social. Winchester Running Club’s lead coach, Andy Parkinson, will host a workshop to explore how our thoughts, feelings and beliefs impact upon our performance in an endurance sport.

A range of interventions can be used to help key performance areas such as confidence, emotional control, attentional control and the motivation to continue even when cold, wet and tired. We will explore how one of these interventions might be used to help achieve our goals. During the workshop we will cover:

• What is Sport Psychology (and what is it not!)
• Why would you use Sport Psychology in your training
• How can Sport Psychology be implemented
• Goal setting or goal striving for performance

As well as being an England Athletics Endurance Group Coach, Andy gained accreditation with BASES as a Sport and Exercise Scientist with a specialism in Sport and Exercise Psychology. He has worked with a number of athletes in a range of different sports including gymnastics, boccia, rugby, badminton, moto=x and of course running.
