Description

Carrie Jackson is a mental skills training coach. She is the co-author of Rebound and the co-host of the Injured Athletes Podcast. In this episode, we dive into the mindset of an anxious athlete and how it presents itself on the start line.


Struggling with race day nerves? Join us as I connect with Carrie Jackson about practical strategies to conquer pre-race anxiety and run your best race yet! Learn how to distinguish between excitement and anxiety, manage symptoms, and build mental resilience.


We discuss:

  • Understanding the cause of pre-race anxiety

  • How and why it shows up for some athletes and not others

  • Personality traits that present a greater chance of experiencing these feelings

  • Pre-race anxiety signs that a runner may feel or experience 

  • Longer-term strategies runners can implement in their training to build resilience against race-day anxiety
