## Resource

This episode is for every active person who understands that the mental side of training is not a one-and-done conversation. Along with host Sarah Bowen Shea, Coach Liz pulls three books off the shelf, plus one new one, to discuss how pre-race fear affects athletes of every pace; how expectation dictates performance; how excellence is about incremental growth and commitment over time, not perfection; and more. A must-listen episode regardless of if you have a race on your calendar or not. The books discussed: Winning the Mental Game : Dr. Amber Selking Built to Finish : Theresa Seitz Inner Excellence : Jim Murphy Elite Minds : Dr. Stan Beecham FeistyFest Info: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/ Feisty Running Retreat, Feb. 5-8, 2027 in Austin: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-womens-running-retreat/ Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themotherrunner/ Support our Partners: JAMBAR: Use code AMR20 to get 20% off at http://jambar.com/ Previnex: Use code AMR15 for 15% off your first purchase at https://www.previnex.com/ Hettas: Use code STAYFEISTY for 20% off at https://hettas.com/ Currex: Use code AMR15 for 15% off at https://currex.com/ Tifosi Optics: Use code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://tifosioptics.com/ PLUS: Register to win a Free Pair of Sunglasses: https://feistymedia.activehosted.com/f/121
