Mental Strategies for Race Day - Live from the Vinfast IRONMAN World Championship

This week, during a special educational session at the Vinfast IRONMAN World Championship, Feisty Media hosted a panel discussion on the main expo stage on Mental Strategies for Race Day.

The panelists did reference the World Championship; however, these mental strategies are applicable to any major race or endeavor.

• How to handle race day nerves
• How to stop "self-sabotaging"
• What to do when things go awry
• Tips for staying "in the moment" on such a long day
• Turning weaknesses into superpowers

The expert panel was led by Feisty CEO, Sara Gross and featured:

• Craig Alexander, 5x World Triathlon World Champion, founder Sansego Coaching
• Lauren Vallee - Clinical Counselor and USAT L2 Coach, Valiant Endurance
• Michelle Simmons - Head Coach, Team BSC Triathlon
• Anne Robie, Executive Coach, Darshan Leadership Consulting
