Cycling Performance Improvement Interventions
Many riders struggle on with psychological difficulties, such as negative self-talk, that hinder their performance and enjoyment of cycling. Others may not struggle, but fail to unlock their full potential by not using positive mental strategies to best effect. These are matters that can be easily remedied with a professional, psychological approach.
Some of the areas in which Cyclotherapy can help elite cyclists improve their performance include:
Pete is professional, confidential and very knowledgeable. It really helps that Pete is also a cyclist and is super honest; he doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. He is able to make my mind more powerful on the bike so I can overcome dips in form or race day scenarios.
- Poor self confidence
- Performance/competition anxiety
- Lack of motivation for training and racing
- Performance enhancement using mindfulness, positive psychology and focusing techniques
- Psychological therapy for general mental health difficulties affecting performance
- Anxieties when cornering, descending or riding in the bunch
- Focus and concentration
- Managing pain and effort
- Recovery from accident, illness or injury
- Dealing with setbacks/poor performance
- Effective mental preparation for racing
- Team cohesion and relationships
- (from both team management and rider perspectives)
- Managing external demands
- Development of positive sleep hygiene techniques
- Non-cycling phobias, e.g. fear of flying, car travel, that can indirectly impact ability to race nationally and internationally
Cyclotherapy also understands the pressures and challenges riders face when they make the decision to retire from professional cycling and can support you in that transition.
