Periodisation in Skiing: A Sport Psychology and Integrated Approach

Working now for over four years with GB skier Rob Bullen I implemented the concept of periodisation from a sport psychology perspective into skiing. I had previously introduced the concept of periodisation into professional cricket back in 2002/2003 (http://www.believeconsulting.co.uk/resources/How_to_improve_Mental_Approach.Pdf)
We developed a specialised programme for Rob initially for his 2010-2011 race/training season.

Working as a sport psychologist with Rob and encouraging an integrated environment, I work closely with Neil Welch Robert’s Strength and Conditioning Coach

Amanda Owens has worked with Rob for over 3 years. In these articles she provides information to help the alpine ski racer improve the mind and strengthen overall performance.

The Thinking Skiers PRET Sandwich: How to think and focus appropriately before, during & in between your first and second run.

During races as a skier you have so much to time to think, in fact TOO MUCH TIME TO THINK, which can be unhelpful for you to race at your best. You can be distracted by: spectators, partners, sponsors, media, race competitors, FIS points and a poor first run… Working with Rob Bullen at The British Land Skiing Championships in Meribel, we worked on the race and run sandwich.
