Episode 8
This week Steve and Chris talk about some of the important psychological strategies that Steve uses to support him during very long swims and different training challenges. What comes across really strongly is how much Steve loves swimming in the sea and that it is this love of sea swimming to helps him keep smiling as he focuses on pushing himself for those extra hours in the sea. They talk about key concepts including reframing, taking perspective and motivation. There are some very useful tips and strategies that can be used in everyday life, not just endurance events.
