The Effect of Pain on Performance

Pain is a kind of a governor on our performance to some degree. I've found in a lot of the work that I've done with athletes that when we're very much about what that result is going to be any amount of pain that creeps in, we start worrying about that result. Whereas if it's process based and the goal is to go in there and to do this race plan and perform this way, we're almost assuming the pain is part of that performance.
