Did you know that mental rehearsal or visualization can help you react in competition? And you can learn a lot from Olympic athletes by picking their brains. That’s why I do several interviews a year with top athletes.
Recently, I talked with Olympic Equestrian Chris Kappler about mental preparation for show jumping. No matter what sport you compete in or coach, you can learn a lot from this Olympic athlete. I’ve always said that mental preparation includes knowing you can adapt to any challenge that might happen during competition.
“So much of the mental game is feeling like you are ready for anything they can throw at you at major competitions,” said Kappler.
