World Champion Ironman Triathlete Pete Jacobs explains how the mind, body, and breath are linked to performance through building a confident, quiet mindset, and a relaxed powerful body.
Any athlete, of any level, can do what the best athletes in the world do. Pete explains how you can train your mind and body with simple techniques to allow for optimal performance, happiness, and health.
There are many layers to the connections and influence between each - mind, breath, and body.
What is clear and simple is that they DO react to one another, so the more control and awareness you have over each will result in an optimum positive influence and response.
Lack of awareness and control of mind, body, or breath will result in:
1. Increased tension
2. Drops in performance
3. Increasing fatigue
4. Sub optimal recovery
5. Less accuracy, and
6. Increased risk of injury
Building a quiet confident mindset, with no ego, a present mind, and an ability to see what you want to achieve ahead of time is what highly successful athletes do naturally.
Pete used this approach himself to become Ironman World champion in 2012.
Pete specifically explains in this video what he executed in the World Championship:
His strategy for:
1. Practicing visualisation of the outcome he wanted.
2. Practicing a grateful and present mindset.
3. Controlling ego.
4. Creating his own story. And
5. Changing the perceived effort and input of what he was experiencing.
All resulting with a win in Hawaii, the easiest race Pete has executed in his career (including 35 Ironman distance triathlons and countless Half Ironman distances over 2 decades).
