Mental Coaching with Steve Williams [INTERVIEW, Part 3]

Last Updated on November 17, 2012 by Jimson Lee

This is part 3 of a 3 part series.

Part 1 was about Greatest Sprinter who Never Went to the Olympics and Part 2 discussed The “Dirty Business” Side of Track & Field. 

Shortly after his competitive career, he coached alongside with Brooks Johnson in Florida (To hear what Brooks has to say about Steve Williams and Justin Gatlin, click here for T&FN’s BlipTV video.  Note: this was recorded in 2011 before Gatlin’s coaching change)

He also started World Class Tech & Think Fast Productions where he coached NFL and MLB teams such as the NY Mets, NY Giants, and SF 49ers.

In the interview, we talk about:

• pre race psych
• visions & mental rehearsals that turn "zen like"
• the "fight or flee" connection to adrenaline performances
