073: Delaney McGuire #8 | Experiencing Mental Blocks with 2K Testing and How To Power Through Them
Description
In this episode, Coach Delaney and Kevin dive into the mental side of performing on a 2000 meter test, why rowers struggle to execute on them, and strategies to overcome “performance anxiety”.
Key Takeaways:
2k “Anxiety” - Why athletes struggle to maintain splits that they know they can sustain, and the power of “expectations” with testing.
Preparation and Exposure - Why rowers need to expose themselves to 2k intensity during training, and experience fatigue, in order to find success on test day.
Endurance Crossover - What experimenting with pacing strategies in marathon running has taught Delaney and Kevin, and how that crosses over to rowing.
