241: More Women More Miles: Mental Skills for Training & Racing with Haley Smith (Episode 209)

In this Episode
This week on our More Women More Miles series, we welcome Olympian and 2022 Life Time Grand Prix Champion Haley Smith, fresh off an impressive performance at Cape Epic. ALong with all of her accomplishments on the bike, Haley recently completed her Masters of Science in Sport Psychology and has just started studying for her doctorate. This combination of experience and education makes Haley the perfect person to chat about mental performance when it comes to training and racing epic events. She covers everything from training mindset to tackling pre-race nerves, as well as setting meaningful goals and creating mantras to help you on race day. Haley reminds us that having a mindset that can help you succeed in any situation is the best way to unlock the skills and fitness that you already have!
