If you ever have thoughts and feelings you wish you didn’t, there’s a good chance you’re human.

 

But there are ways to put a stop to those thoughts and feelings, and that’s where Dr. Simon Marshall comes in.

 

A competitive triathlete and world-renowned sport psychology expert, Dr. Marshall helps endurance athletes train their brains to become happier and more mentally resilient.

 

Dr. Marshall is a former professor of Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, former Director of the Graduate Program in Sport & Exercise Psychology at San Diego State University, and has published over 100 scientific articles on the psychology of exercise and has been cited in scientific literature over 10,000 times.

 

He’s currently the performance psychologist for the BMC Racing team, an elite WorldTour professional cycling team, and he’s also married to three-time world champion triathlete and his business partner Lesley Paterson.

 

Together, Dr. Marshall and Lesley make up Brave Heart Coaching where they help athletes strengthen both their bodies and minds.

 

The two also recently published a book called The Brave Athlete in which they share actionable solutions to the most common mental barriers we runners face.

 

In this podcast, Dr. Marshall will share his tips for conquering the negative thoughts between us and our goals using “[butt]-kicking psychological weapons”. :)

    Awsome episode. Thank you. I'm very impressed with Dr Marshall's understanding of the athelet's brain and how to overpower it when it is working against us. I'm excited to get his book.
    Thank you Runners Connect for another great podcast.
