Athletic Intelligence #15

To enter the NFL players take exams that last hours in order to determine their athletic intelligence. The need to be able to read the field, react in an instant and make a ton of micro decisions simultaneously. We don't have the same demands in triathlon, but having athletic intelligence can be a huge help in successful training and racing. 

The ability to cue into what you are feeling, your awareness in space and your ability to separate emotion from decision making make up your athletic intelligence. We discuss these points in depth in this episode. Enjoy and may the Force be with you!
