Calling all athletes: Listen to this episode, especially if you’re training for a race! With co-hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, the guest, Erin Ayala, Ph.D., a sport psychologist and endurance athlete, talks about pushing through burnout and reframing negative self-talk. The trio talk about: 
-how to become friends with your inner critic; 
-creating your own mental toolkit; 
-using humor or sarcasm to tame mental monkeys; 
-the importance of staying in the moment during a race; and,
-the three key ingredients in motivation + self-compassion. 
 
Before the guest joins at about 7:52, Liz talks about the start of another school year, and Sarah shares a little (tempo-run) win.
