Summary

Though triathlon places significant physical demands on athletes, most triathletes agree that it is the mental challenges that determine whether they achieve their competitive goals. The Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training is the first book to explore the all-important role that the mind plays in triathlon training and competition and gives multi-sport athletes in-depth, yet practical, information and skills they can use to master the struggles of the mind.
