Do you experience this or know of someone who does?
If someone else, feel free to share this episode with them.
Fear of descending is a common challenge and one that I get asked about a lot.
There are many myths about how to prevent our fight, flight, or freeze response from triggering those feelings of fear that we experience.
In this episode, I take you through the first part of the process to prevent this from happening, so as to ride fast descents in training and on race day calmly.
Would you like details of the short program that I have taken many athletes through to ride fast descents calmly?
I will be happy to send them to you along with testimonials from fellow triathletes who have taken this 4-call program

In this episode, I talk about mental preparation in your pre-season.
Many athletes plan to use this pre-season to overcome challenges such as.
* Preventing panic in open water
* Overcoming your fear of fast descents
* Removing mental blocks and more
As many of you know, I have helped a number of athletes overcome those challenges.
Yet whilst overcoming those is important, we also need to look at the long term.
You train for hours to improve your swim, bike, and run times and yet your mind plays an important part in faster race times.
Spending time in your pre-season to establish solid mental structures will pay huge dividends.
I talk about weekly steps to ensure that you build that structure in this episode.

On this episode I talk about how to prevent panic in open water
As a Triathlon Mental Performance Coach, this is the most common question that I'm asked, as panic in open water on race day is very common.
There are also a lot of myths in Facebook groups about how to remove it.
I have identified the reason why our fight/flight/freeze response is triggered and how to prevent it from happening.
The end result is that you will feel calm leading into race day and whilst swimming.
I also note details of a 3 call program that I have taken over 100 triathletes through to prevent this from happening.
You are welcome to email me about this and to receive testimonials from athletes who have taken the program and all now swim confidently on race day.
