Carrie, who is a certified mental performance consultant through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology, shares strategies for harnessing the power of your mind to run your best race, from connecting to your own hero's journey to visualizing both success and setbacks.
Carrie and Cindy also discuss their new book, which explains how similar strategies can help athletes bounce back from injury stronger.
