“I worked closely with Steve Peters, the British Cycling team's psychologist, and we came up with a strategy of dealing with the pressure. It basically involved displacing the negative thoughts with visualisation. Not a complicated technique, but very effective if done properly. I just kept running through the race in my head over and over so that I wouldn't let the distractions around me put me off.” IfsDoneRunningRaceTeamInvolvedNegativePressureStrategyComplicatedBritishTechniqueDistractionPeterPsychologistCyclingNegative Thoughts Author:Chris Hoy
“I don't tend to listen to music in training, except maybe the radio in the gym. I do use music prior to racing though; it helps to fire me up plus it's good for blocking out the distractions around me.” HelpingUseFireTrainingRadioBlockPlusGymRacingDistractionListening To Music Author:Chris Hoy
