How do top athletes get into the zone? By getting uncomfortable

Our Head of Coaching, Adam Lang offered this insightful article to his coachees last week. We think it’s worth sharing. Dr. Nicole Detling is a sports psychologist who’s worked with athletes at the very top of their sports. She advises that The Zone can be fleeting so the more effective route is to build the skill of mental resilience into a habit. Put the failures behind us (flush them) and move on, soak up the challenges so you can perform in adverse circumstances, do your best on your worst days, and get comfortable being uncomfortable.
