Welcome to another episode of the Triathlon Mental Performance Podcast.
In this episode I will be talking about an important concept from Cognitive Psychology that is a game changer for you as athletes: cognitive load.
Key Highlights:
- Understanding Cognitive Load: Discover what cognitive load is and why it's a game-changer for athletes across disciplines. We break down this complex psychological concept into easy-to-understand terms, highlighting its significance in both training and competitive environments.
- The Link Between Cognitive Load and Athletic Performance: Learn how cognitive load affects an athlete's ability to absorb new techniques, maintain concentration during critical moments, and push through physical and mental barriers in races and competitions.
- Strategies to Manage Cognitive Load: Explore effective strategies beyond traditional techniques like visualization and cognitive restructuring. We introduce mindfulness as a powerful tool for managing cognitive load, enhancing focus, and reducing perceived exertion.
- Mindfulness in Practice: Get actionable insights on integrating mindfulness into your training routine. From breathing exercises to body scans, we cover practical exercises that can help lower cognitive load, improve focus, and optimize performance.

You are also welcome to take a look at my website which notes the programs that I take you as athletes through: www.neiledge.com
I also recently launched my first online program for those athletes that would like to work one to one with me but financially its a little challenging due.
The program is a Video PowerPoint version of my 4 weeks to race day program which will take you through a structured process to ensure that you feel calm, confident and ready to race on race day.
