Coach Ashley Bastron is an assistant cross country and track and field coach at Wake Forest University. Ashley is part of a program that is quickly becoming one of the best in the nation as evidenced by the Demon Deacons and their 5th place finish at the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Cross Country Championships last year. In this episode she talks to us about what she’s learned about sport psychology and the art of coaching. We spend all our time discussing the mental aspects of performance such as a healthy run-life balance and how to deal with pre-race anxiety.
