2 Training: Preparing to Race Larry Nolan Larry Nolan is a 5 th generation California and lives in Fremont. He and his wife Debbie have been married 31 years. Together they have three (adult) children. Larry ran in high school, at Saint Mary s College, and in the running boom. Then he took up triathlons. In 1988 he won his first world championship at the ITU Vancouver, Canada event. In 1990 he was clobbered by a triple trailer truck while riding around Lake Tahoe. With running out of the picture he focused on cycling. With his athletic background, he was not comfortable in a pack of cyclists so he started to breakdown the skills required for winning bicycle races. In 1992 Larry started helping new racers at the local 5 week Early Bird Training Race Series. Twenty two years later the series has grown to help about 250 brand new racers each year. Larry leads 50 or more coaches and mentors through the weekly curriculum with the intent to provide a great first race experience (and to keep racers in the sport) Larry still loves to race. He s won 14 UCI Masters World Track Championships; 42 USA Masters Road and Track National Championships; and holds two USA National and one UCI World Record. He races for Team Specialized Masters. After thirty years in various finance professions (GE, Apple, Adaptec, Duarte, RoseRyan) Larry is the Director of the Team Specialized Juniors squad; the USA Cycling West Coast Camp Manager; USA Cycling Certified Skills Instructor, and San Jose Velodrome promoter. In 2010 Team Specialized earned the (small teams) Club of the Year. In 2011 Larry earned the United States Olympic Committee Development Coach of the Year. He is a level two USA Cycling Coach. Larry hopes his talk inspires all riders that attend, including those that are thinking of racing, those that already race and even those that never intend to race.
3 3/11/2013 Let s start with some essential questions It s All About the Mind The Psychology of Cycling How important is the mental side of cycling compared to the physical, technical, etc.? Jim Taylor, Ph.D. The Trium Group Should Peak Performance be your goal? 2 Your goal is Prime Cycling Riding at a consistently high level under the most challenging conditions Can Prime Cycling be Learned?

4 3/11/2013 Prime Cycling Framework Motivation: The determination and drive to achieve your goals 7 PRIME CYCLING Pain Emotions Focus Stress Confidence Motivation 8WHY IT S TAKE ACTION! IMPORTANT Motivation is EVERYTHING! Effort and goals The Grind Focus on long-term goals Have a training partner Identify greatest competitor Use motivational cues: words, photos Compete for the right reasons Ride your bike, ride your bike, ride your bike. --Fausto Coppi Confidence: How strongly you believe in your ability to achieve your goals Intensity: Amount of physiological activity you feel before and during races 9WHY IT S TAKE ACTION! IMPORTANT Most important mental factor Confidence is a skill Confidence challenge Preparation Mental toolbox Build a strong team Self-talk I'm not going to say it, but if you [journalists] want to call me the best sprinter in the world, that's fine by me." --Robbie McEwen WHY IT S IMPORTANT TAKE ACTION! 10 We are physical beings Range of intensity Goal: monitor and adjust intensity Pre-race routine Breathing Shake out arms periodically Change position Smile! All of us do well when things are going well, but the thing that distinguishes great cyclists is the ability to do well in times of great stress, urgency and pressure. -- Paul Sherwin Focus: concentrate on things that help and avoid distractions that hurt performance Emotions: Intense states that arise in response to situations that influence thoughts and behavior WHY IT S IMPORTANT Quality training Efficiency Consistent race performance WHY IT S IMPORTANT Common emotions in cycling Emotions impact psychology and physiology Emotional reactions to race situations (e.g., flat, cramps) Whoever loses emotional control first loses TAKE ACTION! Mental imagery Keywords 3 Ps TAKE ACTION! Know your emotional style: rager, seether, brooder, Zen master Recognize hot button situations 4 Keys to emotional mastery Emotions and nutrition What do I mean by concentration? I mean focusing totally on the business at hand and commanding yourself to do exactly what you want do. -- Marc Cavendish If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster/And treat those two impostors just the same Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it! -- Rudyard Kipling
5 3/11/2013 Pain: Sensory and emotional experience of discomfort, distress, or agony The Payoff WHY IT S IMPORTANT Instinctive mechanism to protect against threat to life Two parts of pain: physical, psychological Pain in perspective Interpretation of pain: normal, means you re working hard PRIME CYCLING Pain Victory! Emotions TAKE ACTION! Relax: deep breathing, loose muscles Pain as information Generate positive emotions Focus Stress 13 At cycling's core lies pain...it doesn't matter if you're sprinting for an Olympic medal, a town sign, a trailhead, or the rest stop with the homemade brownies. If you never confront pain, you're missing the essence of the sport. -- Scott Martin. 14 Confidence Motivation Sign up for our bi-monthly newsletter: Prime Sport Alert jim@drjimtaylor.com Thank You The Trium Group 909 Montgomery Street, Floor 6 San Francisco, California
