Marta Esteban Pro Program 226ers explains the mental predisposition that characterizes the winners, an aspect that according to her is decisive when achieving results.

Champions athletes are to some extent for how competitions face And what do they think of doing so. But this is very complicated to find out, above all, how much percentage this psychic state plays in the successes (or failures) of the great athletes. In my own meats I have lived incredible experiences, in which adverse conditions have not stopped me, but also They have pushed me To make succulent records, but I have also had occasions in which the head has played a much darker role, getting out of the competition without any physical problem. This still makes me consider more how important it must be Train the mind, in addition to my legs, and has led me to investigate and document myself on this subject. Without falling into dogmatism, I have managed to find out some keys that experts give as "possible" Aid when running at our maximum level and performance (Or as one of the greats would say ...#Aputotope) Then let's start to designate what the secrets of the minds of athletes with maximum performance may be

1. mentally relaxed

They have a High degree of concentration. On the contrary, the loss of concentration, the feeling that everything happens too quickly and that things are out of control is associated with mental tension

2. Physically relaxed

With toned muscles fair, Flexible, precise and safe movements.

3. Insurance and optimistic

With a perspective generally positive. They have a sense of confidence in themselves, to be able to act well. This is the factor that determines that the athlete can transform a potentially threatening athletic challenge In a success.

4. Concentration in the present

Feeling of integration of the mind and body and not having thoughts of the past or future. When one is fully concentrated in the present, the logical and analytical processes are suspended, and when this happens, The athlete has the feeling that all actions are produced automatically and effortlessly. If this does not work, instead of concentrating directly on a performance of the present, the athlete can concentrate on something from the past (as an error or failure), or in Something of the future (as the fear of feeling unable to achieve the following challenge).

5. Filling of energy

Determination, intensity and strength.

6. Under control

There is a clear feeling of be able to make all exact movements, getting all the results exactly as they had programmed. It is the feeling of feeling covered with anxiety and fear that is normally associated with athletic challenge situations, which would cause fighting or escape responses. And ... well, I would love to say that if we follow all these steps we will win the Chicago marathon, but unfortunately There are many aspects of the competition that we cannot control or totally unexpected events that can annoy us a preparation of months. What I am sure is that if the body spoils it with excellent nutrition, an adequate strengthening plan and a tight recovery ... the mind goes behind and is a very good idea Start with these guidelines so that next time we limit a few seconds to the impossible.
