In this episode, Leo and Cait dive into the often overlooked but crucial aspect of training: the mental side. While many athletes focus purely on physical strength, top-level competitors know that mental toughness is what sets them apart. Leo shares his own journey of how he discovered the power of mental training after hitting a plateau in his lifting career. Despite hard work, he found that sheer grit wasn’t enough to break through.
It wasn’t until Leo sought help from a sports psychology coach that he began using tools like relaxation, visualization, and positive affirmations to boost his performance. This mental training helped him not only break through his physical limits but also rediscover the joy in the sport. Leo’s story emphasizes that mental preparation isn’t just for elite athletes—it’s a tool everyone can use to enhance their performance, overcome self-doubt, and unlock their full potential.
Through this episode, Leo and Cait explore the different methods of mental training, from self-talk to visualization, and how athletes can incorporate them into their routine to gain an edge.
Whether you're a weightlifter or any other type of athlete, mental training can be the key to overcoming barriers and reaching new heights.
