TRIATHLON

Success in triathlon requires more than just training physically for a strong swim, bike, and run. No matter how you define it, success demands mental toughness. Mental strength helps triathletes persevere when the inevitable feelings of doubt creep in or when motivation begins to sag. Learning effective mental strategies also helps a triathlete set meaningful goals, overcome exertion pain, and feel empowered by competitive challenges. In short, including a tailor-made mental skills program into your triathlon training program can maximize your fitness potential and racing goals.

Dr. Greene’s ability to connect with athletes at every level of the sport—from newbie to professional—is part of what makes him unique among sport psychology professionals. At every level, Dr. Greene tailors his specific teaching content and style to your particular needs.

Mitch, You were so supportive today to so many. You did the trick for April. Telling her to get in the water for 10 minutes and come out if she needed to was perfect advice, especially for her. She is strong and very competitive and breaking it down into a manageable bite was wonderful.
