Ep 32 Highlights Show - The Genius of Athletes
Welcome to the Episode 32 Highlights show of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast.
Last week we chated to Noel Brick, co-author of the book The Genius of Athletes, written with Runners World writer Scott Douglas.
Noel is chartered psychologist, a lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Ulster University, and a Researcher on the psychology of endurance performance.
The premise of the book is two-fold. First, successful athletes have a toolkit of mental strategies that help them to perform at their best. Second, once learned, these techniques can be adapted to overcome challenges in everyday life.
As a runner, Noel has completed more than 30 marathons and ultramarathons, including Dublin, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Ultra marathons Marathon des Sables and the Kerry Way Ultra (200km).
