Rewire Your Self-Talk, Rewire Your Performance

Welcome to another episode of The Triathlon Mental Performance Podcast.

In this episode, I talk about the single most overlooked performance tool in your training and races,  the voice in your head.

That voice can either get you through the tough moments, or drag you down before the real effort even begins. And most athletes? They’ve never actually trained it.

I’ll explain what self-talk really is, why it matters, and how to start using it effectively, not as hype, but as a tool that directly shapes how you move, how you feel, and how you hold form under pressure.

You’ll learn:

  • What self-talk actually is and how it works under effort
  • A simple 3-step framework to train your inner voice
  • Real-world examples of self-talk during key sessions
  • The science behind why it helps you manage fatigue and execute under pressure

This episode is for any triathlete, whether you’re new to racing or already competing at a high level, who wants to build a more resilient mind and a more composed race day.

Please feel free to share this episode with a friend or teammate who could benefit from training their self-talk more deliberately.
