Before you do a training session you think about what you’re going to do.
Before you take part in a race of any description you’ll think about the outcome.
You think.
You talk to yourself.
Sometimes you know exactly what the plan is, what the race will be like and what the outcome will be, but sometimes you won’t.
When you doubt how things are going to go, that voice that talks to you, talks a lot, sends in the wrong messages, creates the wrong processing, keeps you from performing what you really want to do, have trained to do and know you can do.
That voice is the chimp.
The chimpanzee is our primal behaviour, it’s the behaviour we have had as a human forever, it is the behaviour that keeps us alive, keeps us safe, limits risk, it processes situations fast, and highjacks our potential if not controlled.
We can learn to maximise our potential.
A book I’ve read on many occasions by Steve Peters, The Chimp Paradox which has sold over 1.4 million copies since it was first published in 2012 talks all about the chimp and how we need to manage it to perform to the best of our abilities.
