I never thought of myself as someone who needed more mental toughness, but after working with Karen last spring, she really helped me change the way I visualize my sport and myself. 

     Karen gave me books and would have me practice visualizing different scenarios that I was struggling with at the time.  I worked with Karen when I was training for a Triathlon and I had a particular goal that I had been trying to achieve for a few years. With Karen’s help I was able to put so much focus in to my training and was able to visualize the race each day, leading up to the day of the event. Through working with Karen I was able to gain more confidence in myself, the work that I had put in, more mental focus when my body was in pain and, best of all, I loved the sport even more and I enjoyed racing so much more. 

     I PR’d my first triathlon of the season and won first place in my age group.  My second triathlon was even better with placing first overall.  I stopped giving up when my body was tired. I stopped focusing on the negative aspects of the race and on the outcome.  I believe in myself, see myself differently, and really believe that I can do anything when I really put my mind to it. If you want to increase your mental and physical strength give Roberts Performance Training a call. Kenneth and Karen are great people and easy to talk to. - Shannon
