Mental training
A friend of mine sent me this on Facebook. I know that it’s mainly geared toward running, but I thought it was really, really useful for anyone, especially us polers! I find running and pole very similar- there’s a mental aspect, as well as a pain aspect, that needs to be taken into account for every workout.
So, give it a read and see if you feel the same 🙂 I hope it’s beneficial, because I sure found it to be so!

I think it helped too! My husband is an avid runner and when I spoke to him about it, he agreed that it was applicable to pole as well. After reading the article, I came up with a few ways to squelch my inner critic. Thanks for sharing!

Great article 🙂 for me it echoed so much into freestyling, especially the what’s GOOD or bad being a critique. Anytime I think “oh I liked that little thing” it totally takes me out of my flow even though it wasn’t bad! It goes without saying that negative self critiqueing does the same 😉 thanks for sharing!
