With the off-season prep period for ski racers now underway, I will begin my series of articles about how to incorporate mental training in your summer training later this week. My approach to off-season mental training is the same as with physical conditioning and on-snow training: Your mental training must be comprehensive, structured, and consistent. When you slide into the starting gate in your first race of next season, you will be more mentally prepared to ski your fastest and achieve your ski racing goals.

Please be sure to check out my Prime Ski Racing online mental training courses designed specifically for ski racers. The courses are a great way to jump start your summer mental training!
