For some, to perform well in competition requires arousal and NOT thinking. For others, performing well requires versatile perception and active mind while relaxing physically. Psychological solutions need to be individuated and timed. Of course there are general principles, but there will be no one bible of sports psych, or single mental training solution.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-55200957582730240032009-10-15T05:59:22.802-07:002009-10-15T05:59:22.802-07:00Anja Kroll - Mental Training

I am convinced that it is the single biggest factor holding me back.<br /><br />One of my climbing partners has a friend who trained for a scary route by riding in the front car of roller coasters over and over until his body was used to the dropping sensation and he was able to go about his business (like lighting a cigarette while riding) like it was no big thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-26595991050784032652009-10-08T17:15:05.121-07:002009-10-08T17:15:05.121-07:00Hey Will the last lot of entries here have been ab...Hey Will the last lot of entries here have been above even your own usual level - the right mental attitude is essential, no less in paragliding :) Keep it coming,Dansk paraglidinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14253149775308556354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-45660892259685635682009-10-07T07:35:03.939-07:002009-10-07T07:35:03.939-07:00Neumann and Goddard got into this in their book wa...Neumann and Goddard got into this in their book way back in 93. <br /><br />Thanks for your reminder that the greatest asset is our mental muscle. Although relying on it alone to pull you through to the belay/ridgeline or back to BC is dangerous, BELIEVING in your strong head allows you to perform right up to your potential: stronger/harder/longer (which for all of us is much greater than we think)!andriynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-14459718965454839382009-10-06T13:03:50.496-07:002009-10-06T13:03:50.496-07:00so stoked you wrote on this.
